The Texas Rangers scored two runs but the Chicago White Sox scored eight runs.
Everything that made last night’s game fun was reversed in today’s finale. Whereas Dane Dunning thrived yesterday, Spencer Howard continued to flounder during his audition for the rotation.
Whereas Taylor Hearn looked great last night coming out of the bullpen to finish things up for Dunning, today Brett Martin and Garrett Richards combined to allow eight baserunners in their three innings of middle relief.
Whereas the defense shined for Texas last evening, in a classic Sunday day game for the Rangers, we witnessed a couple of errors and more miscues that lead to unearned runs.
