Well, its about time that a opposing pitcher blows up against us and the Rangers lose by one run. Given our luck ratio to this point, we are due a lot more days like yesterday.
They roughed him up on opening day, IIRC... its tough to get the best of a pitcher multiple times in a season, but this offense has as good a chance as any right now.
In his 30 home innings, he's given up 6 bombs but only 9 runs. You will rarely see a more extreme flyball pitcher than this guy.

I hope Fiers has a good start tonight, cause that will be 3 in a row and 4 of the last 5 where he's pitched very well. We could even start to say we have another starter on a roll
