The Texas Rangers scored seven runs while the Anaheim Angels scored two runs.
Dane Dunning did what Dane Dunning does, by which I mean he allowed first inning runs. But then Dane Dunning did what Dane Dunning hasn’t done enough of in what was supposed to be a rotation-securing season for him, by which I mean he didn’t allow any further runs to give the Rangers an opportunity to come back and grab a win.
Overall, Dunning went five innings but importantly only walked one batter while striking out eight. After the bullpen — and the bats — finished the job, the victory sets up a rubber match tomorrow.
