The Texas Rangers scored four runs while the Seattle Mariners score three runs.
For the first time since May 2019, the Rangers pulled off a series win in Seattle. Today Texas sent basically their No. 8 starter to the mound to pitch against the ace of the staff for the Mariners.
Dane Dunning came into the year likely behind Jake Odorizzi and Glenn Otto in the pecking order to be next man up for the rotation but each were injured before the Rangers made it out of Surprise for spring training.
Meanwhile, perennial Cy Young candidate and two-time All-Star Luis Castillo pitched Opening Day for the M’s and got the nod today against a Texas team that had been handcuffed by Seattle hurlers throughout the series.
