Wakamatsu-led Rangers look to beat Mariners again
The Texas Rangers won their first game with interim manager Don Wakamatsu at the helm, and did so emphatically, trouncing the Seattle Mariners 8-3 on Friday in the opening game of Rangers' final three-game home series.
The game was called in the top of the seventh inning after an hour of torrential rain, lightning and flooding.
Maybe Wakamatsu, who had been Texas' bench coach, apparently made that much of a difference. Or perhaps the Rangers were just due after losing four straight games and 16 of their past 22. The Rangers had been shut out in their previous two games.
