A 1-0 loss to Seattle in Sunday’s season finale ultimately cost the Rangers’ the AL West title
On the positive side for the Rangers: They’ve done this dance with the Rays before. And it’s worked out well on both occasions. They won Division Series matchups in both 2010 and 2011 that began their runs to the World Series.
The Rangers held first place in the AL West, or a share of it, for 148 of the first 149 days of the season and the nine days leading up to Sunday. Alas, when Monday breaks, they will most likely be in second place.Houston won the season series with the Rangers, 9-4, and that constitutes the tiebreaker. Houston owned it by sweeping the Rangers in Arlington in early September.
Thanks to the Rangers’ win Saturday, the only permutation in which the Rangers could not win the division Sunday: If they lost SundayWell, Seattle starter George Kirby went six scoreless innings and the Mariners scored their only run on a fielder’s choice when a Eugenio Suarez got a foot under the tag of Jonah Heim on what might have been an inning-ending double play.Meanwhile, after two days of not scoring with all their regulars, Arizona decided to try a new approach.
