Tommy Medica's ninth inning heroics were too little, too late.
I didn't actually see this game, because I'm in the process of moving and my TV and cable connection are not in the same place. And I couldn't listen to it either, because there was no radio. But looking at the box score, I'm okay with that. Ian Kennedy didn't really have a bad day, but he did let two runs score, one on a balk. And by "balk", I mean he fell down while trying to throw the ball. Disaster didn't really strike until the sixth inning when Alex Torres made his Padres debut. He gave up a double and a pair of singles before recording his first out. And then, when he finally did retire a batter, it was a wild pitch strikeout, so he still allowed a run on it. He managed to record a clean strikeout on his sixth batter faced, but then got pulled after loading the bases with back to back walks. All told, five of the eight Rangers' were pinned on Torres. Tommy Medica tried to get Torres off the hook with a 3-run homer in the ninth, but it just wasn't enough.
Tyson Ross will start tomorrow against the Brewers. Be here for the game thread at 12:05 PM PST.
