The Texas Rangers scored a run but the Baltimore Orioles scored an insurmountable two runs.
These Rangers have warped the expectations from a game of baseball to such a degree this season that when Max Scherzer allowed two runs on just four hits in his 5 1⁄3 innings, it felt like he was really scuffling out there and putting together a poor outing. But that’s just life in 2024 with this team where if the starting pitcher isn’t tossing a perfect game, it’s a lost cause as soon as the opponent puts a run on the board.
