Good grief.

For the second time in three days and for the 17th time this season, the Texas Rangers blew a save.

This time it wasn’t Sam Dyson or Matt Bush. Younger right-hander Jose Leclerc, on the mound with two outs in the eighth and the Rangers clinging to a one-run lead, was taken deep by Yolmer Sanchez for a go-ahead two-run homer to give the Chicago White Sox a 6-5 victory.

The Rangers loaded the bases in the ninth after Rougned Odor reached on an infield single, Elvis Andrus doubled down the left-field line and Adrian Beltre was intentionally walked, but Carlos Gomez struck out.
