Owen Miller lined a two-run single into left field to spark a four-run outburst in the third inning and give the Cleveland Guardians a lead they would never relinquish en route to a 6-3 win over the Texas Rangers in the first game of Tuesday’s doubleheader.
The Rangers struck first with back-to-back singles off Cleveland starting pitcher Cal Quantrill in the first inning, pulling ahead 1-0 on a run-scoring fielder’s choice from Adolis Garcia. The Guardians evened things up in the second inning courtesy of a bases loaded sac fly by Steven Kwan.
Cleveland did most of their damage against Texas starting pitcher Jon Gray in the third inning.
