No one loves to lose, but given where the Rays are in the standings, it’s probably safe to say they really don’t love to lose, especially not to a team on a nine-game losing streak going into the series. Sure, I could be empathetic and say the Rangers also hated to lose and that’s why they won tonight, but I don’t write for Lone Star Ball and therefore, I hated this game.
Through the first two innings of this game it seemed like a finely-tuned pitchers duel, with both teams going 1-2-3 in the first, then a little scoreless action in the second.
