It's bad enough that the Texas Rangers aren't going to the playoffs themselves, but on Saturday night, they sent the Cleveland Guardians to the postseason in embarrassingly historic fashion.

Texas Rangers send Cleveland to the playoffs in embarassing fashion
Entering today, Robert Garcia had faced 641 batters in his MLB career. He's had one (1) hit-by-pitch in that time.
His second HBP allows the Guardians to become the first team in the live-ball era (1920) to win via walk-off hit-by-pitch on the day they clinched a playoff spot pic.
