Rangers Come Up Short to Mariners 5-2
Texas Rangers lose sixth straight series in Seattle as Seattle Mariners pick up victory.
The Texas Rangers came into their three-game weekend series against the Seattle Mariners hoping that their luck at T-Mobile Park would change. That didn't happen on Sunday. The Mariners got to Rangers starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore for five runs in five innings of work to capture a 5-2 victory, winning yet another series at home over Texas.
This marks the sixth consecutive series that the Rangers have lost when traveling to the Pacific Northwest. Gore took the loss for Texas, seeing his season record even out at 2-2. Besides working five innings and giving up five earned runs, Gore walked one and struck out five.
But Gore was burned by the long ball on Sunday, giving up three home runs to Mariners hitters. In the bottom of the first inning, Rob Refsnyder put the Mariners on the board with a solo homer and Seattle went up 1-0. With one out in the second inning and Mitch Garver on base, J.
P. Crawford slammed a two-run homer. That put the Mariners up 3-0 at that point.
