The Texas Rangers scored six runs while the Miami Marlins scored two runs.
The Rangers trailed 1-0 three batters into this game and it seemed like it might be time to add tonight’s starter Jordan Montgomery to the list of unsavory Rangers pitching debuts.
Montgomery wasn’t shaking off the allegations in the next inning, either, as he allowed another run. But the Rangers scored a run themselves in each of the first three frames to give Montgomery a lead that he and Texas would not relinquish.
All told, Montgomery did exactly what the Rangers wanted from him when they acquired him as he went six innings in 80 pitches and allowed the two runs on six hits, a walk, and six strikeouts.
