The Texas Rangers scored nine runs while the Sacramento River Athletics scored six runs.
Brother I don’t know what that was. It was barely even baseball.
Anyhow, the Rangers dropped like ten popups and nearly lost a ridiculous, blustery finale in not-Oakland before the potential shame of blowing a 5-3 lead on a bases clearing popup kicked in and they scored four runs in the 9th to escape Yolo County with a series split.
Player of the Game: Josh Jung had three hits, scored twice, drove in two and had the most
wind-aided dong you’ll ever see. It was his first homer of the year.
The game was drunk but Jung was imbibing.
Up Next: The Rangers continue traveling north along the West Coast with their weekend destination bringing them to Seattle for their second look at the hated Mariners. RHP Jacob deGrom will make the start for Texas in the opener against RHP Logan Gilbert for Seattle.
The Friday evening first pitch from T-Mobile Park is scheduled for 8:40 pm CDT and you can catch it via the Rangers Sports Network.
