Rangers Outmatched by Mariners in a Quiet Game at Globe Life Field

From the outset, the Mariners established their dominance with two runs and two hits in the first inning. They continued their offensive push with another pair of runs and two hits in the third inning. The Rangers' pitching staff managed to hold them at bay for the remainder of the game, but by then, Seattle had already done enough damage.


The Texas team struggled mightily at bat throughout all nine innings. With an overall batting average of .103 and only three hits during the game, they could not find their rhythm against Seattle's pitchers. Despite reaching base four times due to walks, they left six teammates stranded on base without managing to drive any runners home.

On defense, errors were minimal with just one committed by the Rangers which did not lead directly to any of Seattle's four runs. The fielding percentage stood at .974 for Texas as they executed ten assists and completed two double plays over nine innings.


The bullpen showed some resilience despite being put under pressure early on. They pitched 4.2 innings without allowing any earned runs and held an ERA of 0.0 for that period while striking out three batters from sixteen faced.

In contrast, it was a tough outing for Texas starters who lasted just over four innings with an ERA of 8.308 after giving up all four earned runs including two home runs which significantly contributed to their loss.


As fans look ahead, they can catch the next game featuring these teams on April 25th at Globe Life Field in Arlington where BSSW will broadcast live coverage starting from midnight Central Time Zone.
