Thoughts on a 6-2 Rangers loss

Twins 6, Rangers 2

  • A bit of loss of offensive momentum, there.
  • It was a frustrating game, one that you feel like the Rangers had a better chance of winning than the 6-2 final score would indicate.
  • Jack Leiter wasn’t at his sharpest, as he struggled with his command, ultimately walking four batters, and needing 87 pitches to go four-plus innings. He surrendered a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third, when a double and a walk to start the inning were followed by one of the longest home runs you’ll ever see hit, off the bat of Byron Buxton.
