The Texas Rangers scored four runs while the Miami Marlins scored six runs in 12 innings.
The Texas Rangers debuted the City Connect uniforms featuring a made-up mythical beast called the Peagle back in April 2023 and wore them every Friday night at home through three seasons, including tonight. Now, due to how MLB cycles through City Connect uniforms, and seeing as this is the final Friday of the year with a home date, the Peagle has made its last appearance. A new alternative look will be unveiled
at some point next year.
It’ll be hard to separate what has kind of become an iconic look from the 2023 season, when the Rangers won the World Series. So the Peagle came in like a lion and went out like a lamb — despite being half eagle, half panther.
Tonight, in their classy cream and black, the Rangers produced all of three hits during regulation and scored their only one run in the game’s first nine innings via an infield single that might have squirted 45 ft down the third base line. Meanwhile, in classic 2025 form, the pitching held the Marlins to a run before cratering during a couple poor extra innings frames.
Overall it wasn’t a particularly inspiring start to the final homestand of the season with the team still mathematically viable, but it was damn sure an appropriate contest for this year’s squad, a squad that proved themselves unfit to wear the Peagle.
Player of the Game: Rowdy Tellez hit a two-out, two-run game-tying home run in the 10th to extend this one only for the Rangers to eventually fall.
Up Next: The Rangers and Marlins will be back at it tomorrow with Texas still in need of naming a starter while RHP Adam Mazur will pitch for Miami.
The Saturday evening first pitch from The Shed is scheduled for 6:10 pm CT and you can watch it via the Rangers Sports Network.
