The Texas Rangers scored a run but the Chicago Cubs scored seven runs.
The Rangers introduced Elvis Cam tonight with Elvis Andrus manning one of the television cameras for an inning or so. It was a cute idea to see a Rangers legend and fan favorite covering the “action” but then they ended up forcing the poor guy to film the most wet fartiest game possible as Texas was pummeled by an actually good team while cosplaying as the junior varsity Anaheim Angels or whatever those City Connect uniforms are.
The Rangers didn’t have a hit until the fifth and luckily for them their second hit scored a run otherwise they would have been easily shut out.
Meanwhile, tonight’s starter Kumar Rocker couldn’t make it out of the fourth inning again as he endlessly went to 3-2 counts and collected just 11 outs for his 87 pitches to put the bullpen behind the eight ball to begin this series.
The Rangers are a season-worst four games under .500.
Player of the Game: Maybe statistically history’s worst big leaguer Justin Foscue drove in the only run if you’re curious just how much the rest of the lineup should feel embarrassed.
Up Next: Now matter how we feel about it nothing can stop the fact that the Rangers and Cubs will play again tomorrow with RHP Jack Leiter set to take the mound for Texas opposite RHP Edward Cabrera for Chicago.
The Saturday evening first pitch from The Shed is scheduled for 6:05 pm CDT and will be aired on the Rangers Sports Network.
