The Texas Rangers scored eight runs while the Tampa Bay Rays scored six runs.
We had ourselves a certified Gore Inning (TM) today and it was a particularly ****** one as Rangers starter MacKenzie Gore was disemboweled for four runs in the top of the second inning.
The Rays loaded up on singles and let the Rangers make some questionable defensive decisions to collect their early lead. Up big early, it seemed like the Rangers were destined to another loss against Tampa Bay which would have sealed a series defeat to the AL's top club. However, Jake Burger had other ideas.
The Rangers first baseman hit a solo home run to get the Rangers on the board and following another Rays run in the top of the third, Burger smacked his second homer, a two-run shot this time, to pull Texas to within a couple of runs.
MacKenzie was run out of the game after just three innings, which put a lot of pressure on the bullpen to work through some innings. They were mostly up to the task with latest arm Trevor Williams tossing two scoreless, Chase Silseth pitching in for a scoreless inning, and Tyler Alexander working out of a jam having allowed a run.
