The Texas Rangers scored eight runs but the Milwaukee Brewers scored nine runs.
By very many metrics, the Brewers have been among the worst hitting teams in the National League this season, so of course they would score nine runs on 14 hits after averaging 4.8 runs this month with just three runs in their previous three ball games.
Then again, this was an Andrew Heaney start which virtually guaranteed a lengthy night for the bullpen and against Milwaukee that’s generally a poor matchup for Texas. That proved the case tonight as even though the Rangers weathered Heaney’s short outing to take a 4-3 lead by the 6th, Josh Sborz came in and immediately coughed up the advantage and then some before the wheels came off.
