The Texas Rangers, who moved boldly in the trade market, continued their upward trend.
On the 5th (Korean time), Texas won its home game against the Miami Marlins at Globe Life Field in Texas, USA, 6-2, winning its 64th win (46 losses) of the season. Odds 0.582. He maintained his lead in the American League (AL) West Division by running for four consecutive wins. The ride against the Houston Astros (63-48), second in the district, is 1.5 games.
The main contributor to the victory against Miami was Jordan Montgomery, who started the game. Montgomery left the St. Louis Cardinals on the 31st of last month and changed his uniform to Texas. In the game against Miami, which attracted attention as his first appearance after the transfer, he won his 7th win (9th loss) of the season with 6 hits (1 home run), 6 strikeouts and 2 runs in 6 innings. Just as he said, “I wanted to make a good first impression on the new team,” it was a fight that gave Texas fans hope. Chris Stratton, who came from St. Louis along with Montgomery, also contributed by throwing 2 innings, 1 hit, 3 strikeouts and no runs.메이저놀이터
Texas gave up left-handed bullpen John King (29), right-handed pitcher TK Robbie (22), and infielder Thomas Seo-Jesse during the Montgomery trade. Robbie and Seojesi are the core of the trade sale. As a starting resource selected in the third round of the 2020 draft, Robbie has struggled somewhat this season with a 2-3 record in Double-A in the minor leagues with a 5.05 ERA. He ranked 11th in the Texas Prospect Ranking selected by MLB.com, the official website of the Major League Baseball (MLB). Seo Je-si produced remarkable results with a batting average of 0.308, 14 home runs and 61 RBIs in the top single A last year. He also played an active role in Double-A this season with a batting average of 0.314, 15 homers and 78 RBIs. He was ranked 14th in MLB.com’s Texas Prospect Rankings.
Texas threw the odds ahead of the trade deadline this year. Following the acquisition of Max Scherzer from the New York Mets, the mound was reinforced through a trade with St. Louis. On the 4th, his first appearance after transfer, Scherzer recorded 6 innings, 7 hits, 9 strikeouts and 3 runs against the Chicago White Sox, becoming the winning pitcher. As they led the win to Montgomery, Texas’ transfer student effect was prominent.
