13-13 - Rangers slip to Seattle 4-3 to slide to second place in AL West

Raymond Carlin III-USA TODAY Sports

First inning runs ultimately doom Rangers again

The Texas Rangers scored three runs but the Seattle Mariners scored four runs.

The Rangers held the Mariners to nine runs scored in this series but five of those came in the first inning with at least a run scored in each of the three games. Putting themselves on the back foot in every game eventually led to Texas buckling in the finale as they just couldn’t come through with the hit that finished...

Thoughts on a 5-1 Rangers win

Rangers 5, Mariners 1

Rangers 5, M’s 1

Finally. Runs at home! Perhaps the most fulfilling part of the “runs at home” experience from Wednesday is a couple of the struggling young ‘uns having big games. Wyatt Langford had his first three hit game in the majors, and would have had his second major league triple had he not stumbled rounding second on his one out ball to the wall in the second inning, a stumble that resulted him eating it on the...

Scoring at home for the first time in 25 innings, the Rangers stay above .500

The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Seattle Mariners scored one run.

The Rangers scored three runs in the fourth inning of the second game of their series against Oakland back on April 10 and then didn’t score another run at home spanning two weeks. Of course, they were on the road for all but two of that of that but the string of zeros included two consecutive shutouts at The...

Grant Anderson has returned

The Texas Rangers have placed pitcher Austin Pruitt on the 15 day injured list with a knee injury, it was announced today. To take Pruitt’s place on the active roster, the Rangers have recalled pitcher Grant Anderson from AAA Round Rock.

This move was announced late, less than an hour before game time, so it may be the injury is something that flared up during warm ups or didn’t respond to treatment today as expected. ...
