It took the Rangers 13 2⁄3 innings into the 2020 season to collect their first single on the year. The honor went to Ronald Guzman, who wasn’t even supposed to play today. That kind of sums things up for the lineup thus far in the young season. Two games, three runs.
Texas had chances, too. They went 2-for-10 with RISP and left 12 on base. The killers were the bases loaded, one-out opportunity in the seventh followed by a golden runners-on-second-and-third-with-no-outs chance in the bottom of the eighth but they did not score in either inning.
