The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Philadelphia Phillies scored four runs in ten innings.<\/p>\n
Never a doubt, right? Ha ha ha\u2026<\/p>\n
Corey Seager homered off Aaron Nola. So too did Jake Burger. That was a few hours ago. Feels like weeks.<\/p>\n
Then Rangers got a nice spot start from the other other Jacob, Jacob Latz, after Jacob deGrom couldn\u2019t pitch because he\u2019s 38 years old and a strange pillow in a strange land can wreck your day.<\/p>\n
Then Latz and four relievers held the Phillies to just one hit through two outs in the ninth inning.<\/p>\n
Then Burger dropped his second popup on a play that would have ended the game with Texas enjoying a shutout.<\/p>\n
Then former Rangers Adolis Garcia doubled in a run.<\/p>\n
Then the Phillies tied it off Chris Martin.<\/p>\n
Then the Rangers scored two runs in the tenth after being held off the board since the third inning.<\/p>\n
Then someone I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever heard of in my life named Tyler Alexander squeaked through the tenth allowing just one run and the Rangers won a game that can only be described as peak Texas Rangers Baseball (TM).<\/p>\n
I wonder if MLB knows it\u2019s like 80 degrees in Arlington tomorrow and the Rangers have a retractable roof stadium.<\/p>\n
Anyway, with the win, the Rangers avoided their first 0-2 start to begin a season since losing their first two games in Toronto back in 2022.<\/p>\n
Player of the Game: Andrew McCutchen driving in Wyatt Langford for Texas\u2019 non-Manfred Man run \u2014 proving to be the eventual winning run \u2014 in the tenth is now legally the only moment you\u2019re allowed to remember from this game.<\/p>\n
Up Next: The Rangers will close out their stint in Philly attempting to secure a series win in their first set of the year with LHP MacKenzie Gore expected to make his debut with Texas opposite LHP Jes\u00fas Luzardo for Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
The lunch time first pitch from Citizens Bank Park is scheduled for 12:35 pm CT and you can watch it on the Rangers Sports Network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Philadelphia Phillies scored four runs in ten innings.
