Rangers 4, Rays 3: Nice Ups, Adrian Beltre

Touch 'em all

Jeremy Hellickson is a philosophical problem: if you are a pitcher who throws pretty much nothing but changeups, do you actually throw a changeup at all? This is not strictly speaking true, this thing I have just said about Jeremy Hellickson, but dang does that guy throw a lot of changeups! Ian Kinsler hit the second pitch of the game (a changeup) out of the park, and Adrian Beltre hit three solo home runs as the Rangers edged the Rays to make their second ALCS appearance in a row, which is pretty rad of and for them. Good series, guys! I would like to note in closing that this deciding game was played before a truly lousy crowd of 28,299, making it the worst-attended MLB playoff game in thirty years. Good job, Tampa! 

Huzzah!
