"Texas Rangers Face Playoff Hurdles, Brewers' Frelick Shines with Game-Ending Catch"

The Texas Rangers are facing two major issues that could hinder their playoff run: their inability to protect late leads and their struggles in coming from behind late in games. While they have been successful in overcoming early deficits, they have only won once when trailing after seven innings and are winless in 42 attempts when trailing after eight. Additionally, their bullpen has been inconsistent in protecting late leads, as evidenced by a recent game where a home run changed the outcome. Starting pitcher Andrew Heaney has also been a concern, often failing to pitch through five innings. These issues highlight the challenges the Rangers will need to address in order to make a deep playoff run.
