The Texas Rangers scored two runs while the Seattle Mariners scored six runs.
When the scoreboard lit up to read that tonight’s contest had moved into the bottom of the fifth inning, the Mariners had collected just two hits off of Rangers starter Jon Gray.
Gray’s return from an Opening Day blister was considered critical for a battered and bruised Texas pitching staff. Two hits through four innings, that’s pretty good, yeah?
Well the problem is those two hits went over the fence. The first hit was a three-run home run off the bat of Eugenio Suarez after Gray had hit a batter and gave up his only walk of the night.
