In the game that took them to the one-third mark of their season, the Texas Rangers played into extra innings Wednesday trying to push their record back to .500.
They have won 25 times with Adrian Beltre on the disabled list and 16 times with Cole Hamels on the DL.
Things could have been a lot worse.
But things would have been better if not for one of the game’s worst bullpens, and the most beleaguered reliever of them all was again in the middle of another loss.
Sam Dyson allowed a home run to Logan Morrison to start the 10th inning and a two-run shot to Derek Norris with two outs, and the Rangers were unable to overcome a blown save by Matt Bush an inning earlier as the Tampa Bay Rays rallied for a 7-4 victory.
