13-17 - Rangers have trouble with Twins, fall in opener 6-5

The Texas Rangers scored five runs and the Minnesota Twins scored six runs.

The Rangers played tonight like a team that just finished an adrenaline-filled series over the weekend and then immediately got on a plane to continue playing 19 games in 19 days. That is to say, they allowed a run on an errant throw from right field, another on a missed tag at the plate, another on a botched catch in center field, and yet another on a poor route in left field.

Meanwhile, the bats were quiet for much of the night until Adolis Garcia got them on the board with a two-run dong but a late-inning rally ran dry.
