00:00Rangers, they avoid the sweep yesterday in the postseason rematch against the Baltimore Orioles

00:08in Arlington. Both teams didn't have to go far after they sent a ton to the all-star game. Texas

00:14wins the finale 3-2. They were a minus 135 home money line favorite. Stayed under eight and a

00:20half. First two games of the weekend set featured at least 10 runs. Yesterday here was the only

00:26scoring. Jonah Heim, a three-run home run for Texas in the fourth. Anthony Santander, a two-run

00:33home run for Baltimore in the eighth to cut into the lead. But Texas does hold on to avoid the

00:38opening weekend series after the all-star break and avoid that sweep. Yeah, Heaney came in three

00:44and ten to that game and put on a really good pitching performance. Only goes five innings,

00:47Ben, but only two hits. No earned runs giving up there. Lowering his ERA to 3.6 here. Imagine that

00:52being three and ten with an ERA under four. It's crazy in this day and age in Major League Baseball

00:57that they needed that. Also, you take a look at a pitcher like Kramer who was on the mound yesterday

01:01for the Orioles. Drops to four and six on the season. ERA of 4.43. It's that position that we

01:06look at for the Orioles. Love Corbin Burns at the top. They still do have some young pitchers, but

01:10you just want to have that other guy outside of your starting pitchers that say, you know what,

01:15I can be a three, I could be a four, I could be a five and be accountable on a day-to-day basis.

01:20Orioles will be there at the end. They're going to be in the playoffs. The focus then switches over.

01:23Can the Rangers make a comeback of five games back from the two teams that are above them? It's a

01:28good start yesterday. They have a lot of talent, but you can't wait any longer. It's not May anymore

01:32out there in these streets. We're about to get to August and we got to sprint to the finish line.
