Rangers vs Diamondbacks Game 4 of the World Series: pitchers, lineups, stats, etc.
The Texas Rangers lead the Arizona Diamondbacks two victories to one in the MLB World Series. On Monday night, the two teams played a notably different Game than their previous high-scoring encounters, with a low-scoring contest. Andrew Heeney pitched for the Rangers, while Joe Mantiply shouldered the Diamondbacks’ pitching duties. This match-up suggested that there might be an early transition to the bullpen, which has been used extensively in recent Games.

Texas Rangers
In the last game, the Rangers moved swiftly to their bullpen, relieving Max Scherzer of his duties. They did not allow for much delay, reinforcing that today’s baseball landscape demands three or four innings of work for a hefty price tag. On the opposite side, Joe Mantiply had previously demonstrated his pitching abilities in the last series and carried that confidence into this bullpen game. He was not alone, as his teammates showcased their strengths, making this a classic “next man up” scenario for the Diamondbacks.
Andrew Heeney’s season has been a rollercoaster ride, with exceptional and less-than-stellar performances. His inconsistency has left observers in a perPetual state of uncertainty. As the series unfolds, the question looms: will Heeney deliver a levelheaded and dependable performance, or will the unpredictable nature of his season persist in the next Game?
Arizona Diamondbacks
Joe Mantiply’s recent track record involved 15 pitches in his last bullpen appearance, highlighting the versatility and situational pitching expected from the Diamondbacks. The bullpen Game offers an array of match-up situations, with lefty-righty confrontations and more, as pitchers rotate in and out to keep the opposition guessing. Both teams have demonstrated an early shift to their bullpens, but how much of an impact this strategy will have on the Game remains to be seen.
