In what was the hottest temperature ever recorded at first pitch at The Ballpark, the Rangers and Indians played a spicy ballgame where the two teams combined to score 17 runs and trade leads before eventually the Indians scored a number high enough that they handed Texas an extra innings loss in the second half opener.
Also, Willie Calhoun, in his first game as a big leaguer in 2018, reached base twice in like the first hour of the game which is pretty much an entire month’s worth of offense from Carlos Tocci.
