The Texas Rangers scored four runs but the San Francisco Giants scored nine runs.
It seemed like the Rangers might pull this one out as they took a 4-2 lead into the eighth inning tonight. However, the Giants loaded the bases in the top of the frame and the sinking feeling returned just in time for the two-out grand slam by SF’s No. 9 hitter Mike Tauchman.
A .572 OPS and 0-for-3 night was no problem for Tauchman but proved to be trouble for Texas as the demoralizing lead-erasing four-run bomb cost the Rangers their lead while three more Giants runs an inning later put the finishing touches on a 21st loss in their last 26 games.
