His overall performance across three games includes a .333 batting average and a .933 OPS (On-base Plus Slugging), making him a key player for Baltimore.

Povich's ability to keep runners off base will be vital as he faces a potent Rangers offense.

With players like Heim and Henderson showcasing significant impacts in their recent appearances, it's clear that both teams have players capable of changing the game's dynamics.
