73-82 - Rangers do their darndest to put Mariners in the playoffs

The Texas Rangers scored four runs but the Seattle Mariners scored eight runs.

With Dane Dunning called on to make an unwanted start for Max Scherzer after the originally scheduled starter suffered his probably dozenth old man injury of the season, Mad Max goes out Mild Max as his time with the Rangers has surely ended.

Dunning immediately allowed a home run to Julio Rodriguez who is keeping his career afloat on the backs of Texas pitching this season. From there, the Mariners collected hits seemingly at will without ones that did much damage until the BABIP gods took mercy on them in a 2-2 game and they collected like a dozen ground back singles to put three on the board in the sixth to untie the game.
