Baseball history is rife with postseason heroes. But for every hero, there is almost always a goat.
On Monday night in Texas, former University of Arizona hurler Ryan Perry became the answer to a trivia question.
Texas slugger Nelson Cruz took the ex-Wildcat deep with the bases loaded to give the Rangers a 7-3 win in 11 innings and a 2-0 lead in the American League Championship Series over Perry and the Detroit Tigers.
Perry gave up four hits and four runs to suffer his first-career postseason loss. In Game One, the Marana High School alum struck out one and yielded no hits or runs in 1.2 innings of work — including getting Tucson native Ian Kinsler to fly out to left field.
Perry — and former Wildcat and current Tiger pitcher Daniel Schlereth — get their shot at redemption in Game Three tonight in Detroit.
