The Texas Rangers scored nine runs while the New York Yankees scored four runs.
After an 8-0 blowout loss in the opener of today’s double dip, and with the Yankees prepared to send the reigning Cy Younger winner Gerrit Cole to the mound for this second game, no one would have been blamed for feeling like a doubleheader sweep was in the cards.
However, Rangers starter Cody Bradford was up to the task in just his fourth appearance and third start since returning to action back on July 30. The lefty went five innings and allowed the one run on five hits with zero walks and a season-high tying seven strikeouts.
