Thoughts on a 6-5 Rangers loss
Twins 6, Rangers 5
That was a frustrating loss.
A bad outing for Dane Dunning. If it wasn’t his worst outing of the season, it was pretty close. He could not locate his pitches, throwing 28 balls out of 66 pitches (in just 2.1 IP), and when he was able to throw strikes they were too often hammered.
Dunning’s first inning was bad, giving up a homer and a double, but at least he gave up the double after the homer, rather than before.
The second inning was also bad, with four straight singles before a GIDP gave Dunning a lifeline. He still walked Carlos Correa, but got Byron Buxton looking for the third out.
