Three takeaways: Rangers run into first triple play in 25 years in shutout loss at Chicago

CHICAGO - Takeaways and observations from the Rangers' 5-0 loss to Chicago Friday night while wondering if the Waze app would help them better negotiate the basepaths.

THREE TAKEAWAYS

-- Tripling up: In what may be the worst baserunning play in team history, the Rangers ran themselves into a triple play with the bases loaded and no outs in the seventh inning. The play began with Mitch Moreland lining hard to right field. For some reason, Prince Fielder, at third base, did not tag up and go home. Meanwhile, it allowed the White Sox to throw behind Ian Desmond, who had taken off for second base.
