ARLINGTON, Texas – Ji-Man Choi received a controversial blow that led to the catapult of his manager, and then a big swing and a miss when his helmet flew off his head. That in-bit ended with a double RBI that put Tampa Bay ahead to stay.
Choi’s adventurous trip to the plate took place in the 11th inning, when on Wednesday night, “Race” defeated Texas 4-3 and did not allow “Rangers” for the first time this season to win.
Choi thought he had checked his swing on the ground. Manager Kevin Cash also reacted from the dugout and was thrown by home table judge Vic Karapaza, who announced the strike without asking for help.
“It’s a big on-bat right there. This is a big step. This is a big impetus for the pitcher, ”Cash said. “These are heavy calls, it cannot be denied. I just felt there could be a look or ask for a third base judge. “
Choi then took the ball from Dennis Santana (2-2) before the swing and miss, and then doubled to the right corner.
Reflector № 9 Vidal Bruyan 10th hit a sacrificial fly in Tampa Bay. His single in the second ended a series of 30 straight Rays bounces that bounced off the second half when they lost 3-0 on Tuesday night.
“We quarreled … but, like the guys, we stayed,” Cash said. “It’s very easy to get frustrated and get carried away with that frustration and do nothing.”
The Rangers were compared to Adolis Garcia’s RBI single at the bottom of the 10th, but then left the base loaded when rookie Zach Rex flew to the left. The Rangers left at the base of 14 runners.
“We need to have the best bats,” manager Chris Woodward said. “We can’t be caught in the moment, try to be a hero. Like, just a quality bat, know what you want to do and follow it. And I felt that we missed it a bit, especially late. “
John Gray scored 12 rebounds in seven innings and came out 2-1 behind Texas (24-25), reaching 0.500 for the first time this season since winning Tuesday.
Sam Huff and Nathaniel Lowe were singled out for the Rangers. Huff ran 435 feet on the second deck of the seats in the left center of the field in the second.
Randy Arazaren went deep into the Rays, while Harold Ramirez had the final RBI single in eighth place.
Left-hander Colin Poche (1-0), the Rays ’sixth pitcher, scored two on the 10th before Matt Whistler made the 11th for his first save in three chances.
Just before Arazarena reached the goal, Yandi Diaz brought out the Rays with a seventh shot that Cole Calhoun picked up near the right corner of the field. Diaz was called up for a close game while attempting a double. It seemed his hand could have reached the base before he was short-term short by Cory Seeger, but a call for a replay from the Rays failed.
Ideal 10
30 consecutive reflecting Rays in retirement were the equivalent of a perfect game in 10 halves. The Rangers Pitcher trio came out the last 22 Tampa Bay beats on Tuesday night. The last major league team to leave 30 rebounds in a row was Toronto – also against Tampa Bay – in July 2019. Texas did not do so after receiving 33 bounces in Auckland in a row in June 2016.
SHORT HOP
Rangers 2B Marcus Semien, who entered with a five-game streak and a season average of 0.199, missed a chance to climb above 0.200. He went 0 to 6 with three strikeouts, sliding to .193. … Rays starter Jeffrey Springs struck out seven in five innings, the only runs he allowed to come on two solo homers.
Coaching room
Flight: Catcher Rene Pinto has been added to the taxi team, but before the game there was no change to the list after manager Cash said that catchers Francisco Mehia and Mike Zunin were a bit “beaten up”.
Rangers: LHP Martin Perez, the MLB leader with his 1.42 ERA, worked and felt good the day after removing the liner from his right foot. He came out of all 16 beats he faced after being hit.
NEXT
Two-time award winner E.L. Saya Young Corey Kluber has given just one inning for Texas in his only season with the Rangers in 2020. The right-hander didn’t kill them last year when he started for the New York Yankees. Kluber (1-2, 4.03 ERA) is now starting the final of a four-game series for “Flight” against Texas left-hander Taylor Hearn (3-3, 5.36).
