The Rangers (23-4) earned their 23rd win of the season on Wednesday night after defeating the Diamondbacks 15-0 at Gastineau Field. The 23 regular season victories surpassed the previous franchise record of 22 regular season wins set in 1998.

​

In doing so, Joe Becker tossed his 2nd shutout of the year and tied former Rangers' Shawn Schmitt's career MVABL record for league wins (70).

​

Understaffed with just 9 players, the Rangers made quick work of the D-Backs with great defense and   a lot of offense.

​

Eric Becker put the wheels in motion in the bottom of the first with a leadoff double. After a single from Jesse Jones, Rob Pederson plated the first run on a sac fly. One out later, Cooper Nolte, Brandon Ward, and Joe Becker singled in succession with RBI knocks to make it 4-0 after one inning.

​

Eric Becker doubled again in the 2nd and scored on an RBI single from Pederson. Markus Neff then belted his 3rd HR of the season for a 7-0 score. The longball was the 18th of his career, moving him into 7th all-time in franchise history.

​

In the 4th inning, Jones singled and scored later on an RBI single from Neff. After singles from Nolte and Ward to load the bases, Joe Becker doubled home a pair to make it 10-0. Mike Seebock added a 2-run single to increase the lead to 12-0.

​

The Rangers failed to earn the run-rule after 5 innings despite putting runners on the corners with no outs. But that wasn't the case in the bottom of the 6th.

​

Joe Becker singled and Jaret Quinn did the same. Seebock singled home Becker. Eric Becker then hit a sac fly to score Quinn. Jones reached on an error and Neff walked to load the bases. Then the ever-exciting walk-off walk was issued to Nolte to end the game 15-0.

​

Joe Becker allowed 5 hits over 6 shutout innings, did not walk a batter, and struck out two to improve his record to 7-0 with a 0.81 ERA on the season.
