The Texas Rangers scored two runs but the Anaheim Angels scored three runs.
The Rangers had two paths they could take tonight. They could win tonight's game and inch a smidge further from being a .500 ballclub or they could lose and be right back at .500. It's pretty easy to guess which direction they took.
Despite leading 1-0 just three pitches into the game against a starter with a 7+ ERA on the year, the Rangers only scored one more run all game against a team so broken half their pitching staff have like single-digit big league careers and the entire pitching coaching staff was just fired.
The Rangers had plenty of chances to score, and indeed eight opportunities with RISP, but capitalized on just one of them when they had to send in Jarred Kelenic to pinch hit, a guy they didn't think was as good as Jonah Bride like four days ago.
Despite leadoff man Joc Pederson reaching in each one of his PAs tonight, Wyatt Langford and Corey Seager went a combined 0-for-8 with several missed chances to plate runs. When the Angels got a runner on from the bottom of their lineup, the top of the order capitalized and that was ultimately the difference.
