The Texas Rangers scored a run but the New York Mets scored four runs.
Much like many of the early Sunday afternoon getaway games for the Rangers in 2022, a sloppy play on defense preceded the opening of the floodgates on their way to a loss.
Today, tied 1-1 in the 4th, starter Jon Gray struck out Pete Alonzo to start the inning but the swinging strike three kicked off Jonah Heim and his throw went into right field.
So, instead of a leadoff strikeout, the Mets had a runner in scoring position.
