Adolis Garcia achieved a walk, two Homer points at the end of ninth round to raise the Texas Rangers to a 4-3 victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday afternoon in the intermediary match of an interleague series of three games in Arlington, Texas.
Garcia’s explosion on the left field wall came out of the Kirby Yates of the Dodgers – which was closest to the Rangers in 2024 – and followed a double of Josh Smith. The Home Run was the fourth of Garcia’s season and had a winner of Jacob Webb (2-0), the third launcher in Texas.
Yates (1-1) had his first backup of the year. Six players had a blow for Los Angeles, who managed a sequence of four consecutive victories.
Texas has only managed five strokes, but has always equalized the series while winning for the fourth time in five games.
Shohei Ohtani missed his second consecutive match while he was on the paternity list. His wife gave birth to a girl, he was announced on Saturday.
The two starters – Roki Sasaki for Los Angeles and Nathan Eovaldi for Texas – launched enough to win, but an Eovaldi error made the difference by putting the Dodgers.
Sasaki granted two points over two safe strokes during a six -round career summit while withdrawing four and walking three. Eovaldi abandoned three points (two of them won) while dispersing five strokes of safe and withdrawing seven without a walk.
The Rangers struck first, going up 2-0 on the circuit of Kyle Higashioka at the end of the third round. The explosion, which planed Dustin Harris who walked to start the Channel, was just out of reach of the gigantic Los Angeles Michael Conforto and was the first blow of Sasaki.
The Dodgers have lost a short time to answer, equaling the match in the fourth when Freddie Freeman has torn a two -point circuit on the line of the right field which marked Mookie Betts (who had chosen) in front of him.
After a field, Comforto chose and went to the second row when the eovaldi picking throw at the first base struck it in the back and fled. Max Muncy followed with a double land apart from the center right which allowed Comforto to trot at home and give Los Angeles an advance of 3-2.
Neither teams threatened by entering its respective arenas. Sasaki was followed at the mound by Jack Dreyer (a round), Evan Phillips (two thirds of a round, two stick withdraws and only one) and Alex Vesia (a third of a round) before Yates.
Robert Garcia launched the seventh for Texas and Webb withdrew the six strikers he faced in the last two heats.
The series between the last two champions of the World Series will end on Sunday afternoon.
