Call delivers lone RBI in win
Alex Call went 1-for-3 with one RBI in a 1-0 win over the Rangers. Call got the start in right field with a left-hander on the mound for the Rangers. It was Call’s third start since coming up for the injured Joey Gallo. With a runner in scoring position in the second inning, he knocked a base hit to drive in the only run of the game. The 29-year-old outfielder is 4-for-9 at the plate and should continue to get his playing time on a short-side platoon.
Heaney allows only one run, still loses
Andrew Heaney gave up one run with four strikeouts over seven innings in a loss against the Nationals. Heaney was handed a tough-luck loss after giving up just one run over seven innings in what was his best start of the season. A double and a base hit in the second brought the only run in to score on Heaney. He worked around two more hits and did not walk a batter while striking out four. The 32-year-old left-hander ends the day with a 5.10 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and a 26/9 K/BB ratio across 30 innings. He’ll take on the Athletics in Oakland on Monday.
