21-13 - Rangers rise to the challenge to take opener 2-1 against Seattle

The Texas Rangers scored two runs while the Seattle Mariners scored one run.

After all the hubbub about the vaunted Rangers offense, it looked incredibly possible that they were in for a bit of unfortunate history as M’s starter Logan Gilbert was on his game and throwing up zeroes. The first 18 Texas batters were sent down and Gilbert had struck out seven Rangers in a row at one point.

However, even on a night where they were seeing someone at the top of their game, they were inevitable with Marcus Semien kicking off the top of the 7th with a single that broke up the perfect game and started a rally that saw the Rangers leave the half inning with a 2-1 lead after a Josh Jung sac fly and Jonah Heim blooped RBI eventual-game winner.
