Nathan Eovaldi didn’t have to pitch on Sunday. The Rangers were out of the postseason picture and a six-man rotation had already been in place for a few weeks, setting him up to only pitch once over the final road trip of the season.

While the Texas Rangers are wrapping up their seventh losing season in eight years, they can take solace in small victories such as grinding out a comeback victory in the ninth inning and seeing a young player get the key hit.
