Never a doubt, right?
Ha ha ha… Corey Seager homered off Aaron Nola. So too did Jake Burger. That was a few hours ago.
Feels like weeks. Then Rangers got a nice spot start from the other other Jacob, Jacob Latz, after Jacob deGrom couldn’t pitch because he’s 38 years old and a strange pillow in a strange land can wreck your day. Then Latz and four relievers held the Phillies to just one hit through two outs in the ninth inning.
Then Burger dropped his second popup on a play that would have ended the game with Texas enjoying a shutout. Then former Rangers Adolis Garcia doubled in a run. Then the Phillies tied it off Chris Martin.
