this afternoon Andrew Heeney with 84 and 13 record in ER of 3.81 139 Innings he's got 141 punch outs to go along with 38 walks and Taylor Ward has stepped into the Batters box two two and a swing and a miss he got him on the change up first strike out of the ball game for Andrew Heeney what a great pitch that was from Andrew n with 20 home runs on the year usually short stop this one out in field and circling underneath it to make the catches Wyatt Langford two away the number three batter today is Charles Leblon he's playing first base with the Lefty out there sha ell not in the lineup today here's a ball hit out into left Langford coming on he'll get there to make the running grab 1 two three no hassle inning to get us started kayen Dana got it done in his major league debut last Sunday yeah I I love the fact that he had such great boys out there as fast he spotted it very very well youngest Angel the win and that d Frank Tanana is 20 years old for Heen Dana my goto for him to have another solid game against the defending World Champ today used his curveball Marcus semi in the leadoff batter for the Rangers once again today first pitch swinging that Ball's hit well deep out to left it's gone now that's the way you start off a ball game Marcus Simeon wasting no time as he jumps on the first off ring from Kaden Dana this pitches right down Broadway and he just jumps all over it well that's a b six the leadoff home run of the year for Marcus gives him 19 now this season Dana did not allow a base hit to a right-handed batter in his first start against Seattle one pitch one long hit from Simeon and a one- nothing lead for the Rangers here's Josh Smith at the plate and this one is ripped by first that's a base hit heading down into that right field Corner Smith turns first and he'll jog to second base with a double his Ball's hit like a bullet down the right field line it gets past the first baseman and rolls all the way down into the corner so Smith in scoring position for Wyatt Langford bounc to the left side that won't move the runner over as Netto gets it to First and holding it second base is Smith and that brings up ad dois Garcia swing and a miss strike three good slider to punch out Garcia and Garcia completely fooled by this slider was about to give up on it then he sees it coming back to the plate a very late and defensive swing on that slider two outs Nathaniel low will back but he pulls that and that is launched deep out to right it is gone that ball goes up about 20 rows right down the right field line little hanging slider on the mid middle part of the plate coming right into the loop Zone but it was a no doubter once you heard the crack of the bat Rangers jump out to a 3 nothing lead here in the bottom of the first Jury has heated up despite his batting average for the season being 170 as a six-game hitting streak and he swings right through that one a strike out of jury Begins the second inning well heene showing some good pitches here this afternoon fast ball with some life on a little bit of a tip Kelly holding on for strike three so th now and so th gets the job today and that little Tapper right back to Heeney and he'll lob it over to first two quick outs here with the second inning so Jordan Adams now strike three called over the inside corner Heeney fires a fast ball to complete another one two three no hassle inning the Rangers got all over Dana in that first inning armers by Simeon and low and now Duran he'll go after the first pitch that's down the line that could be trouble it is foul just foul now Duran who ripped a big two-run double in yesterday's game for the Rangers narrowly missing a home run on the first pitch he sees from Dana and that ball smashed that's really well struck deep out to left gone third Homer the game for the Rangers it's four to nothing Ezekiel Durant just pouring it on here in September nice little five-game streak with that home run it's not often that you see a guy hit a foul home run and then in that same at bat come back and hit a real one but this ball is crushed out there into the angel Bullpen and Carson CI is on that'll be a hit here's Janowski and he'll go after the first pitch that one's into center field for a hit Cy will drop anchor at second a home run and then back-to- back hits to start the second inning two men on and nobody out here in the bottom of the second for Marcus Simeon who started it all off with a first pitch fast ball that he deposited out to left for a leadoff home run this one flared out over first base into right field that's a base hit around Third Base Kelly he'll score without a throw RBI single by Simeon and it's five nothing yeah Marcus is really turning it around coming in today he had a four game hitting streak extending it to five with the Home Run and then this is just a beautiful thing right here for a base hit and an RBI so Josh Smith draws the walk so they are loaded still nobody out Ken Dana's second Major League start is shortl lasting he records only three outs he has allowed five runs and the three men on the bases are his responsibility as zeph John will come in swinging a Miss by Langford as zepher John strikes out the first batter he faces and brings up a DOI scarcia and that one rolled down to third basee stefanic goes to Second for the one out on the first in time zeph John comes in Strikes Out Langford gets the double play against Garcia and limits further damage so Ward becomes the first base runner of the afternoon for the angels as he draws a lead off walk which extends his current on base streak to 18 games that's one shy of his career best Zack Netto will be the next hitter Netto hits it fair down the left field line the angels have their first hit hit into the left field Corner as Ward gets to Third Base he'll be held up and a rally here second and third nobody out as Neto doubles fast ball 92 mph fast ball middle in and he turned on it quick hands there for Netto 29th double to go along with 29 stolen bases so the Angels threatening for the first time here this afternoon LeBlanc now the batter as leelon hits one deep into the left field Corner chasing after it lenford near the wall and it is gone a home run Charles Leblon punches one into the left field corner and the angels are right back in at a three-run shot makes it 5 to three well that's a just a great bat launch angle 34° XO 107 off the bat Charles lah goes yard and we've got one out here in the bottom of the fifth ad dois Garcia coming up Garcia hit a Fly ball to left field this one's going to carry right to the wall and Taylor Ward makes the catch nice job good route to that walk great back up times the lead perfectly Taylor Wards are Arco top tier play today trying to keep that momentum on in your sigh for the Halo in this play right here can keep that going so there's one out a runner at third you got to find a way to get this Runner home stonic who tends to make contact ground ball and that should get the run home although Smith thought about it but he throws to first four the out the infield was not all the way in about 3/4 of the way back as Smith thought about unleashing a throw to the plate but stepanic puts the ball play drives in a run that's a big run there too especially when you had two strikes it's going to get high five making contact there as Zack Netto has it infield head Ward ends up at third the angels with Runners on the corners the Rangers send out Mike Maddox their pitching coach so think they were probably maybe even talking some strategy here too with first and third that's a huge spot with LeBlanc coming up and that looked good strike three call the block down looking two away boy that's a great cutter right here from David Robertson here's Brandon Drury swing and that ball is lifted out into right center field Janowski and Garcia coming together and it's Travis Janowski who makes the catch with Garcia right by his side jury the final out of the inning so the Angels threaten but do not score low has his second hit of the day had a two-run home run in the first and now a single here Josh Young 0 for two with a walk as young lifts one to center field in comes moniac a long way in still coming as he slides to make the catch nice play good closing speed by moniac in Center moniac comes flying in and this ball just hangs up as he slides in and grabs that one about a foot off the turf this play by moniac for the first out is Ezekiel Duran will be the batter and Duran pulls it down to Third and that goes right under the glove of LeBlanc carams off that fence at an awkward angle into third base goes low on the Durant double it just really was not a good play at all uh you know Not only was he unable to make the play but he didn't even knock it down at his feet or anything so it end up getting by him but now it's Runners at second and third and one out so you got to bring the infield in here's Carson Kelly now one for two with a walk now Kelly hits it hard neto's got it spins throws home and out at the plate is Nathaniel loow what a play by Zack Neto that ball was hit hard spins around and makes a perfect throw to the dish Zack Netto what a play huge play they keep it a one-run ball game for the time being Runners now at first and second with two men out Travis Janowski the batter and this one is lined out to right field that's a huge hit Here Comes Duran and it gets past Adams Cy will score into third base Jen Kowski two huge runs added to the tally and the Rangers are up S to four well there you have it there's those Insurance runs so the Rangers one out way here a win this afternoon we give Texas three out of four in the series and we give the Rangers their fourth consecutive Series win and this one in the air short right field seon all alone he'll make the catch this one is over and the Rangers take three of four from the angels and win seven games on this home stand yeah
