The Texas Rangers scored four runs while the Cincinnati Reds scored three runs.
All throughout this homestand, the Rangers have been facing early deficits with runs scored in the first few frames, often the very first one. With a scuffling lineup, that felt ruinous to their chances of winning and often Texas would find itself in the middle innings staring up at a zero in the hit column.
Today, however, the Rangers were the team that jumped out in front and then kept the opposing lineup at quiet for the first several frames.
