They were running out of “just need a win” opportunities and they were running out of pitching to get that win, but with the lineup that has carried them all year, the Rangers went to work tonight to wear Seattle ace Luis Castillo down until they finally broke through with the clutch hits required to secure a spot in October for the first time since 2016.
After a classic 2023 blown save loss in the opener, and a debacle on Friday night, the Rangers came out and put their home run seeking ways on the backburner and returned to grinding as they made Castillo throw 86 pitches before getting out of the 3rd inning — something he would not accomplish.
