The Rangers scored an unearned run in the first inning to take a 1-0 lead on the Cardinals on Fathers Day at Busch Stadium.
Shin-Soo Choo led off with a single and was replaced on the bases by Ian Desmond, who grounded into a force at second. Desmond stole second and Aledmys Diaz couldn't hold on to the throw. While the ball didn't get very far away, it was far enough for Desmond to take third. Nomar Mazara then flew out to center, and though Tommy Pham came in on the ball he didn't throw home as Desmond scored.
