25-45 - Rangers snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with 3-2 loss to Twins

The Texas Rangers scored twice but the Minnesota Twins scored thrice.

Look at that, another game where it seemed like hey maybe the Rangers would win the baseball game but then they did not.

Up 2-0 after a two-run Isiah Kiner-Falefa dinger, and with Kolby Allard having a nice day on the mound, the fun was derailed when old team legend Nelson Cruz bopped a two-run blast of his own to tie the game.

With the score even, in the top of the seventh, newly elevated rotation hopeful but still reliever John King allowed the go-ahead and eventual game losing run with two walks, a stolen base, and a wild pitch.
