Nationals vs. Rangers Game Highlights (5/2/24) | MLB Highlights

Nathan evaldi on the mound for Texas today he’s had a bit of an up and down start to the season as well the biggest thing is those walks and Evo has talked about the fact that he might be rushing just a little bit uh when he gets in those situations down in the county so interesting to see how he responds here tonight a little bouncer to First and evaldi with the underhand toss they take care of Abrams one away and that brings up Nick szel but of baldi’s 02 and a swing and a miss got him on the splitter h first strikeout today Garcia 294 seven doubles a homer and 11 knocked in and a ball roasted to left Center on a couple of hops it’s Carter to his right Garcia thinking two here with two outs and it looks like he got there and he stays on the bag but not looking real great coming across the top of it Joey manessa stands in and his 3-2 pitch a little number toward first low way off the line underhand to avaldi and that will do it in the top of the first for the n Parker completes his warm off tosses will face the top three in the Rangers batting order Marcus semian Cory Seager and Nathaniel l no easy task with the 24-year-old rookie left-hander from Albuquerque New Mexico and this one in the air to left Jesse Winker is actually going to come well in for it and an easy first down Cory Seager is the batter that’s good outside edge Seager gave up on it he can only walk away and for Parker 15 strikeouts in just over 16 Innings so here’s another left-handed hitter Danel low swinging a ground ball toward the middle Abram shaded right there just to the left of second fires on to Maness as the inning is over one gone here in the second inning brings up tber Ruiz and Ruiz takes strike three called second strike out today for raldi and that was close two outs in the top of the second Freddy Rosario the o02 swing in a Miss Rosario chases a fast ball up and in and avaldi Strikes Out a pair to complete it’s 1 two three no hassle inning bring up Jonah Heim soim batting fifth today and this one hit sharply into left field base hit for himim and the Rangers have their first base runner today now the Rangers are in business with Runners on first and second and only one out in Langford coming up got him looking again doubling up out there second strike out two down here’s Ezekiel Durant making his first appearance of the series he gets the nod for Bruce Bo’s bunch here today that b hit out to left field that gets down base hit Here Comes Jaheim he scores Smith into third it’s an RBI double for Durant and the Rangers get that first run of the game so here’s Evan Carter second and third and two outs one to Carter and he hits this one sharply the first goes off the glove of manessis good backup at second by Garcia gets a run of the plate Carter reaches Smith scores and it’s two nothing Rangers two nothing Rangers men at the corners and the pitch swinging that one drip to left field a base hits played on two hops by Winker Duran scores from third Carter stops at second RBI single for Marcus Simeon and the Rangers have pushed three across here in the bottom of the second and they lead three to nothing top of the order in CJ Abrams and clean base hit Abrams that’s a tweener so he’s thinking at least two here over to cut it off Carter and CJ Abrams has his 17th extra base hit the walk here with two outs to senzel is the first walk that he’s issued so far today but it does extend the inning with two outs for Luis Garcia Jr strike three called inside corner fast ball had him backing off the plate and the Nationals unable to take advantage of their two out scoring opportunity runner at third two down and the batter Josh Smith a left-handed hitter and the heater plays a lot quicker doesn’t it 93 upstairs for the strike out lead off double not a problem manessis Winker and Ruiz coming to the plate onew pitch he Strikes Out Swinging on the splitter fifth strike out for raldi left-handed hitting Winker and a swing in a miss splitter right near the bottom of the zone so waldi with the strikeout pitch working that’s six on the day three in a row here again the payoff pitch swinging a hard hit ball Simeon to his right back hands it turns and throws and Ruiz is the final out here in the inning MIT Parker face four batters the lead off double last inning but he got through that inning with only 11 pitches wow further down further away Parker winds and delivers curveball hit in the air to left center field medium deep Jacob Young drifting over the center fielders got it and a good inning for Mitchell Parker he’s now retired Six Rangers in a row bottom third due up here for Washington is Eddie Rosario stands in he struck out swinging back in the second the 2-2 swinging a Miss he struck him out got him with a cutter basically right over the heart of the plate so seven strikeouts now for ivaldi he has retired five in a row ivaldi throwing strikes here today here’s the 02 pitch and that’s on the outside corner for a called third strike he nicked that corner with the heater he’s retired seven in a row here’s Nathaniel low with the pitch swinging a high popup on the infield coming in is the second baseman Garcia steps off the dirt onto the infield Turf and makes the catch for the out and it’s an easy one two three inning for Mitchell Parker Nathan AAL against CJ Abrams 2-1 pitch and this one in the air out the left Langford to his left and he makes the catch Nick Sendel a strike out and a walk there’s ball four and senzel is walked for a second time today with one out senzel goes to First Luis Garcia Jr coming up this is not pleasant Here Comes Matt Lucero that athletic trainer out there and there was there some look there by avaldi after he delivered that last pitch a look of resignation almost I thought he was just frustrated with the way things have gone the walk to senzel but it may be that he felt something let’s see as soon as he releases the baseball he doesn’t care that if it’s a strike or not but but turns his back that’s something that we have not seen him do all afternoon he doesn’t really give us any clues on that one but he is going to leave the ball game so avaldi is done after five and a third two outs here in the top of the six and that brings up Joey messus Chopper Third Base side backhand pick by Smith right behind the bag shuffles and throws across miness is retired and that ends the inning Parker holds a high set he fires swinging a Miss he struck him out ran a fast ball in off the plate and Parker gets that first out with his fifth K so that’s going to be it for the rookie five and a third six hits couple of walks five strikeouts two outs and Runners at the corners as Janowski will be announced as the pinch hitter swing and it’s poked in the air to left center field young is there and he makes the catch they had him position perfectly Jacob young was playing in left center field Janowski hit it right to him in left center it’s the Lefty Winker the switch hitter Ruiz and the Lefty Rosario do up for the Nationals Winker on the ground second base another good play by Simeon and throw back to First in time boy Marcus Simon is just putting on a clinic at second base throughout this series showing great range to his left and also to his backand over the last two days Robertson on the third base side comes set Full Count two outs payoff pitch swinging the ball floated to short center field coming on Carter he slows to a jog On The Run makes the catch racing in and that ends the inning so here’s Jonah Heim now and Jonah has been on board twice ball up the middle that’s a base hit for Jaheim Here Comes low around third no throw offered and that stolen base turns into a run it’s four nothing Rangers Travis Janowski was a pinch H it for Ezekiel Durant I’m off third Smith off second and that’s hit hard by the first baseman manessis into right time is into score Here Comes Smith it’s a two-run single for Travis Janowski in a 6 Nothing Texas lead Winker now at first on the field choice and here’s the switch hitting catcher cert Ruiz and it’s on the ground that could be two the second there’s one on the first double play game over 463 and the Rangers take the finale of this series and home stand they win the series
