The Texas Rangers scored seven runs but the Minnesota Twins scored nine runs in 10 innings.
Well, you can’t really blame the bullpen. They tossed 5 1⁄3 shutout innings tonight before the extra inning Manfred Man scored and then Aroldis Chapman imploded when tasked with an infrequent second inning.
You can’t really blame the bats, either. They didn’t really pile on once they took an early lead, and they didn’t take advantage of some of their opportunities late, but with as poorly as Texas has been hitting recently, six runs (I’m not counting the zombie run) from the bats would have won a great many of the losses in this current bout of misery.
