The Texas Rangers scored six runs but the Houston Astros scored thirteen runs.
The Rangers followed their script beautifully. Perfect acting. No notes.
Score a few runs early. Don’t bother really building upon that initial decent early lead. Have an inefficient starter crumble as he nears his 80-pitch effectiveness limit to overburden a bullpen that doesn’t even have one pitcher that you want to see take the mound. Before you know it, the implosion is complete.
I guess the only mild surprise in this one is the disaster came in the 7th instead of the 9th or extra innings.
