If this keeps up, you'll want to tune into the late innings of every Texas game.
On Tuesday, Wilhelmsen entered with a 4-2 deficit and quickly converted in into a 9-2 blowout. At least he didn't wear his arm out: only 12 throws.
On Wednesday, Tolleson climbed the mound in the ninth to close out a 5-4 win. He fired 14 pitches to five batters. Single. Single. Double. Single. Home run by Robinson Cano.
Have a seat, son.
Seattle's odds of winning the game leaped from 14% at the start of the frame to 99% when Tolleson departed.
The two relievers have combined for 26 pitches to 10 batters. All 10 have scored. They have not recorded an out. They have faced Cano twice and have kept him under 500 feet twice. But barely.
This could be fun.
