Rookie Kumar Rocker's understated confidence emerged during the Texas Rangers' thrilling 3-2 victory against the Seattle Mariners. After a solid six-inning start, he asserted the Rangers boast the best defense and bullpen in baseball, a claim backed by their recent performance. Marcus Semien's clutch hit sealed the win, reflecting a season marked by strong pitching and stellar defense, especially from their revitalized bullpen, which has led the league in ERA during June.

This bullpen's transformation is remarkable, having started the season without a designated closer and integrating players who all switched teams in the offseason. Hoby Milner, leading the charge with a minuscule ERA, is now in All-Star discussions, underscoring the effectiveness of this unit. With the Rangers aiming for .500, their bullpen's durability will be crucial as they seek to maintain momentum.
