(Reuters, Florida, St. Petersburg, 4th) The MLB Texas Rangers started the game today relying on teammates and Ifedi’s strong 6 and 2/3 innings of pitching. They won the American League pennant by defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 7-1 in the decisive game. In the wild card round, the Rays defeated the Rays in two straight games to go to the division series.

In Game 2 of the American League Wild Card Series, the Texas Rangers depended on Adolis Garcia and Evan Carter to score in the fourth inning. They led the club 4-0 at that time and added one more in the fifth, and another two points in the sixth set the stage for victory.

The Tampa Bay Rays were only able to recoup one run by a string of consecutive hits in the bottom seven innings. Ultimately, the Rangers overcame the Rays 7-1 to proceed to play the Baltimore Orioles in the AL Division Series.

Carter said of the Rangers’ failure to win the division, “It’s been a little longer than we expected or wanted, but hey, we’re here now and we’re ready to keep going,” Bally Sports Southwest.

For Nathan Eovaldi, the points collected by his colleagues were sufficient. He gave up just one run on six hits, no walks, and eight strikeouts.

“It’s annoying, for sure, but that’s baseball,” Rays manager Kevin Cash remarked following the contest.

“They are superior to us. Although the Rangers gave a fantastic performance, we fell short of their level.” Translation provided by Central News Agency
