The Texas Rangers scored three runs while the Pittsburgh Pirates scored two runs.
The Rangers had a lead in this game before we’d even reached post meridiem hours in the central time zone as Marcus Semien led off the game with a homer. Before the end of the first inning, it was 3-0 Texas but with a feeling that perhaps they’d left some meat on the bone against Pittsburgh starter Johan Oviedo.
That proved important as, by the end of the 2nd, the Pirates had scored twice to get to within a run and then both offenses played chicken to see who could waste the most chances.
