This is the only way to describe the Rangers’ victory Wednesday afternoon:
“I don’t believe what I just saw”
-the late Jack Buck and Josh Lewin
after the game
After a walk to Mitch Moreland with new outs in the ninth, the Rangers pinch hit Nelson Cruz. Mariners pitcher Dan Cortes threw a wild pitch on strike three. Cruz started running hard to first while catcher Guillermo Quiroz picked up the ball and threw it into right field. Moreland sped around the bases during this miscue and scored on an uncommonly late and off-the-mark throw from Ichiro Suzuki,
For me, this tops the walkoff hit by pitch by Jeff Francoeur against the Yankees.
With the Rangers down 5-2 in the eighth, Cortes found it extremely difficult to throw strikes, walking two batters that eventually led to the Rangers tying the game.
