Rangers Win, 1-0
A 6-hit game...a true old-fashioned pitching duel. It wasn't pretty there at the end - it rarely is with CJ on the mound - but a win is a win is a win.
By the way, someone should tlel the Channel 27 booth that with two outs in the bottom of the ninth in a one-run game, with a runner on third, and a close play at first base on a slow grounder, that it is generally NOT a good idea to cut away from 1st Base a good 1.5 seconds before the ball even gets there. Most baseball fans who have invested 2 1/2 hours in the game (usually more, but 2 1/2 in this case) would like to see if the guy is safe or out, instead of waiting for a replay.
PS - Nice job Padilla!
