18-31 - Rangers, Gibson shut down Astros 1-0 in ol’ fashion pitchers’ duel

The Texas Rangers scored one run and the Houston Astros scored zero runs.

There’s a generous way to describe this game. You can call it a pitchers’ duel. There’s a not so generous way to describe this game, also.

If you like hitting in your baseball game, well, this one wasn’t the game for you. The Rangers are bad at hitting and the Astros are likely not as bad at hitting but are mired in a deep slump at the plate right now. That unfortunate truth played out real hard as the teams combined for 17 total scoreless innings tonight.
