Their performance at bat was underwhelming with a total pitch count at 130 but only managing to convert those into two hits and one run.

The Texas Rangers capitalized on every opportunity given by the Tigers' mistakes and built up their lead steadily through key innings. They scored one run in the second inning followed by three runs each in both third and eighth innings, showcasing strong batting performances across their lineup.
