Rangers eek one out in Toronto
Baseball is My Boyfriend —
Bullpen management has been a question mark in Ron Washington's tenure with the Rangers. Tonight, in Toronto, he made the right decisions, and although they didn't immediately look wise, they worked out in the end.
First things first, though -- Roy Halladay. The Toronto ace came into tonight's game with a 3-0 record and a 3.00 ERA. He has struggled against the Rangers historically. He has a 7-6 record vs. Texas and a 5.34 ERA, his highest of any team he's faced more than four times.
Rangers bats wasted no time knocking Halladay around. Nelson Cruz delivered a two-run bomb in the 2nd, Chris Davis drove Hank Blalock home in the 5th and Ian Kinsler added another two runs on a homer in the 7th. ...

Right-hander Brandon McCarthy's six adventure-filled frames of three-run baseball comprised his best single-start average fastball velocity (91.25 mph) since early 2007, a steady diet of strikes (62.9 percent), the well-documented change-up/slurve tandem that remains so tantalizing but inconsistent and a ridiculous ...
