The Rangers entered the house of a borderline dynasty on the brink of elimination and will live to see another day.
HOUSTON — Before outfielder stepped to the plate in the first inning Sunday at Minute Maid Park, a hostile Houston crowd showered him with raucous boos. The Rangers entered the house of a borderline dynasty on the brink of elimination. They stared into the lair of the defending champs knowing bad blood was afoot. And for eight innings, the jeers appeared to penetrate García’s headspace. The powerful slugger struck out four times. He chased pitches outside the strike zone.
Sborz immediately got to ground into a 4-6-3 double play. If the heart rate in the Texas dugout lowered, it was only for a moment. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Sborz still on the mound, walked and singled. There was one out with left-hander at the plate. Bochy took his time deciding. He waited until Sborz was about to step on the rubber.
