The Texas Rangers will try to produce more first-inning magic when they play the rubber game of the three-game series on Sunday against the visiting Atlanta Braves in Arlington, Texas.
The Rangers scored in the first inning on Saturday when Corey Seager hit a solo home run in a 3-1 win. It was the first time the team had scored in the first frame since Opening Day.
"Obviously any time you have the lead you feel better," Texas manager Chris Woodward said. "The other team is playing from being right from the beginning. Hopefully we can do that more often because we preach that heavily and we know how important that is to the psyche of the ballclub of both teams.
