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.
Maybe it’ll be warmer tomorrow.
Player of the Game: Justin Foscue is probably wishing he’d been drafted by the Rockies so he could play every day at Coors Field. Tonight Foscue entered the game with six career extra base hits and left with nine as he homered, doubled twice, and drove in each of Texas’ first three runs.
Foscue’s career night concluded with a walk during a three-run eighth inning rally, as the former first-rounder reached in each of his plate appearances.
Up Next: The Rangers will be asking for innings from RHP Kumar Rocker tomorrow after another quasi-bullpen game tonight. The Rockies, meanwhile, don’t have a starting pitcher listed yet.
The Wednesday evening first pitch from Coors Field is scheduled for 7:40 pm CDT and will be aired once more on the Rangers Sports Network.
