Did Rangers' Bullpen Falter Against Astros in Arlington?

First Inning

The Texas Rangers faced off against the Houston Astros at Globe Life Field, with the game concluding in a 6-3 outcome. The Rangers now hold a record of 24-22, while the Astros stand at 23-21. The game began with both teams showing strong defensive plays, as neither team managed to score in the first inning. The Rangers' starting pitcher demonstrated control and precision, allowing only one hit and no runs during his time on the mound.

Second Inning

In the second inning, the Rangers took an early lead by scoring two runs. This was largely due to Josh Jung's impressive performance at bat, where he maintained a batting average of .500 from previous games and contributed significantly with his home run prowess. However, despite this promising start for Texas, their momentum was short-lived as they were unable to capitalize further in subsequent innings.

Seventh Inning

The seventh inning proved pivotal for both teams but particularly detrimental for Texas. While their bullpen had shown vulnerability before this game—evidenced by Hoby Milner's high earned run average of 18—their struggles became more pronounced here. Houston capitalized on these weaknesses by scoring six runs off nine hits throughout this period alone; an offensive surge that ultimately secured them victory over their rivals from Arlington.
