Just when I decided maybe I could like Lance Lynn, he went out and allowed four runs in the first inning. So then I went back to hating him forever and he and the Rangers allowed just one run the rest of the way.
Meanwhile, the offense scored three runs in the bottom of the first and eventually took a lead they would not relinquish in the bottom of the sixth.
Player of the Game: Nomar Mazara has had hot streaks before but every time he goes on one of these bomb benders you hope against hope that he’s finally realized that just launching baseballs into the sky will go a long way to making him the steady star the Rangers have always thought he would become.
