The announced attendance Monday for the opener of a three-game series between the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers was 18,056.
Fans on the Twitter said that the reason for the poor showing was that it was Monday, that it was cold, and that the Rangers aren’t very good.
Maybe they were bracing for another game close to four hours in length, and after two innings, it sure looked as if that would be the case.
But the Astros and Rangers sent everyone home in only 2 hours, 39 minutes. Pitching dominated the day, with Brad Peacock holding the Rangers to only two base runners.
