He just was . He was great . '' The Rangers ' manager Ron Washington was full of praise for the left-hander , saying the 25-year-old showed his game-winning quality . `` We needed him to go out there and pitch well and he did , '' Washington said . `` He showed the world what he 's capable of doing . '' The Rangers ' first run came at the bottom of the first , with Elvis Andrus running in from first base to score off the batting of Josh Hamilton . The game 's deciding moment came at the bottom of the sixth , when Mike Napoli went deep off pitcher Mitchell Boggs to score three for Texas and cement their winning lead .
