The Texas Rangers had a rough afternoon. The team’s under performing is the cause of this loss, much like in games one and two. At the start of the season, Texas dug themselves into a big black hole, falling deeper and deeper. But when they began a winning streak, slowly climbing out of it, but in the last two weeks, they’ve fallen deeper and deeper.
Martin Perez stepped on the mound looking to win his second straight game. He pitched 3.2 innings, allowing seven hits, a season-high six runs, and striking out two batters, falling to 2-6. Manager Jeff Banister didn’t have a choice but to pull him out of the game early.
