The postseason belongs to the Texas Rangers so far.

The boys from Arlington are the first to punch their ticket to the Championship Series after downing the Baltimore Orioles, 7-1, on Tuesday night, sweeping them in the best-of-five ALDS.

The Rangers have used the long ball all year long, and that didn't change one iota on Tuesday. Corey Seager opened up the scoring with a solo shot in the first inning, and in the second inning following a Mitch Garver two-run double, Adolis Garcia launched a three-run jack to make it a 6-0 ball game. Nathaniel Lowe added a solo homer in the seventh.

Nathan Eovaldi hardly needed to pitch a gem, but he did so for good measure anyway, tossing seven innings of one-run ball while striking out seven. He's allowed just two earned runs in 13.2 innings of work this postseason (1.32 ERA).

The Rangers bullpen struggled all season, and that continued on Tuesday. Aroldis Chapman relieved Eovaldi, but loaded the bases. That prompted Bruce Bochy to go to Jose Leclerc early, and he induced a groundout to Aaron Hicks to get out of the threat. Leclerc then retired the side in order in the ninth to clinch the victory.
