The Texas Rangers scored two runs but the Chicago White Sox scored four runs.
Because Cal Quantrill isn’t very good, the Rangers tried to get a little cheeky by having opener Tyler Alexander go a second inning but the White Sox scored the game’s first run off Alexander in the top of the second anyway.
Though Texas tied the game in the bottom of the second, the White Sox collected four hits with RISP on the evening, including three in their first four attempts. The Rangers, meanwhile, had the bases loaded with no one out in the bottom of the fourth after Chicago had taken a 3-1 lead and scored just once, with that run scoring via a double play ground out.
The Rangers only had one hit with RISP in six opportunities and that hit didn’t even score a run. They had just five hits total. They didn’t have a hit after the fourth inning. Seven of their final nine at-bats ended in a strikeout.
Texas is back at .500 after their second series loss in a row to open the second half.
Player of the Game: Cam Cauley homered in the bottom of the second, a solo home run for his first big league dong.
Up Next: The Rangers get to enjoy their final day off of the month before opening up a big series against Seattle in Arlington.
