Andrés Muñoz closed out the Rangers in the ninth inning on Thursday, protecting a one-run advantage to tally his 27th save of the season.
It hasn’t been easy for Muñoz this season, and this outing was no different. He allowed a pair of two-out walks to Wyatt Langford and Evan Carter that put the tying run in scoring position but was able to get Jake Burger to ground into a fielder’s choice to end it. The 27-year-old righty now sports a 3.98 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and an 85/23 K/BB ratio over 54 1/3 innings on the season.
