After three, the score remains the same as it was after one: 3-0 Texas. However, it was very nearly not that anymore, as both starting pitchers had to work out of some jams.
Rangers Vs. Yankees, ALCS Game 1: C.J. Wilson, CC Sabathia Work Out Of Trouble
First, C.J. Wilson allowed his first baserunner of the game, followed by the second. With two on and one out, and pitching out of the stretch, he was able to get weak fly outs from Derek Jeter and Nick Swisher to keep the Yankees off the board.
Then CC Sabathia came back out and continued to look like someone other than himself. It seemed like, in the second, he'd figured out a way to settle down. But he started the third by walking Josh Hamilton and then very nearly walking Vladimir Guerrero. He wound up with Hamilton on third base and one out, but was able to escape when Nelson Cruz and Ian Kinsler pulled grounders to the left side of the infield.
Wilson and Sabathia faced some trouble, and Wilson and Sabathia got out. The former is at 36 pitches, while the latter is at 67.
