Those bullpen games have been quite a relief for the Texas Rangers. With Nathan Eovaldi still on the injured list and Tyler Mahle dealing with shoulder stiffness, the Rangers twice in the past week have gone with bullpen games.

Bochy did not indicate how long Latz would pitch or the arrangement of the relievers after Latz.  The only pitcher he said he intends to stay away from is right-handed reliever Chris Martin, who pitched the ninth inning of Saturday's victory over the Nationals.

The Texas Rangers scored four runs while the Washington Nationals scored two runs.
