For the first time in Big 12 play, the Texas Longhorns dropped a series in losing 7-5 to the BYU Cougars on Saturday at UFCU Disch-Falk Field in a familiar pattern — falling behind early and rallying, but not enough to impact the final outcome.
Right-hander Max Grubbs, in his fourth start in a weekend series finale, struggled for the first time. After allowing two earned runs and three runs total through the initial three starts Grubbs made on the weekend, BYU was able to get to the Arlington Martin product early.
With a runner on second in the first inning, Grubbs got ahead 1-2 against Cougars catcher Collin Reuter and was asked to throw a fastball down and in.
