The Texas Rangers scored five runs but the Houston Astros scored ten runs.
The Game 4 winning starting pitcher of the most recent World Series was pitching opposite a debuting emergency spot starter that had one of the briefest outings in a debut in baseball history where the Rangers scored five runs before they had collected their second out and they still lost and it wasn’t even close.
The Rangers will be kicking themselves that they didn’t do more against the debuting Arlington native Blair Henley as they batted around and had the bases loaded in a 5-2 game but Houston’s relief came on and immediately got a double play to end the inning and basically the lone threat of the night from Texas.
