Downing-Imagn Images The Texas Rangers scored six runs but the Colorado Rockies scored seven runs. Let’s see here… The Rangers fielded one of the least impressive lineups I’ve maybe ever seen. Their starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore left injured after only an inning of work in which he was lucky to have allowed just two runs.
The defense committed a couple of errors among several more miscues, one of which allowed two runs to score despite Colorado not having a hit in the inning. The Rangers out-hit the Rockies 10-7. Five of Colorado’s hits were with RISP to just one for Texas.
The Rangers had four pinch hitters. They went 0-for-6 on the night. The team trailed 2-0, 4-1, 6-1, and 7-3 before still very nearly Coors Field-ing their way back to a win late only to fall 7-6 anyway despite several chances to at least tie the game.
