The Texas Rangers scored five runs but the Chicago Cubs scored nine runs.
Even the champs can’t win ‘em all, I guess.
Maybe there’s comfort in the fact that, as Texas won yesterday in a very 2023 fashion, they lost today in a very 2023 fashion with the bullpen coming undone. Following that formula, baby!
Perhaps the biggest surprise was, after tying the game at five apiece after trailing 5-2 heading into the bottom of the fourth, the Rangers’ bats didn’t deliver a lead despite many opportunities throughout this Easter Sunday.
Regardless, it’s one series and one series win is in the books and hey, it could be worse, at least they weren’t swept in a four-game set at home like some neighboring team.
