34-19 - Seager’s swat helps Rangers to 5-0 series-opening win

The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Detroit Tigers did not score a run.

I will preface this by saying that I don’t think the home plate umpire did an especially poor job today. More often than not, he seemed to call the close pitches correctly. But he also had a very tight strike zone and that seemed to annoy like 80% of the people on the field at various points throughout the afternoon.

One of those people, and perhaps the most aggrieved, was potential May Pitcher of the Month Nathan Eovaldi who just seemed to be in a foul mood as he labored.
