The Texas Rangers scored twice but the Seattle Mariners scored thrice in 10 innings.
The Rangers tried to win a baseball game today but they did not do that. Starter Spencer Howard was matched up with a hit or miss home plate umpire and that’s a bad pairing for a pitcher trying his darnedest to figure out how to throw strikes at the big league level.
To that end, Howard walked five batters in five innings. The good news on this front is he wiggled out of jams and only allowed two runs on a two-run Carlos Santana homer in the the 3rd.
