Ooof. How many times can this happen?
The Texas Rangers’ bullpen blew another save Friday night as the Chicago White Sox scored four runs in the final two innings, including three in the ninth against Matt Bush, to walk off with a stunning 8-7 win.
Stunning because it doesn’t seem possible that the Rangers could have so many bullpen meltdowns in one half of a season. It was Bush’s fifth blown save (in 15 chances) and the Rangers’ 16th in 80 games. That leads the majors.
The Rangers only blew 17 games during the entire 2016 season and six teams in the league had 16 or fewer blown saves.
