The Texas Rangers scored zero runs but the Anaheim Angels scored four runs.<\/p>\n
The 2025 Texas Rangers are good at exactly two things:<\/p>\n
Well, Nathan Eovaldi wasn\u2019t on the mound tonight and the Rangers were fresh off a dominant sweep of Cleveland to drum up a desire to see them fight to the finish. The forecast seemed cloudy at best for this one.<\/p>\n
And indeed the storm rolled in on the first pitch of the game. Texas trailed 1-0 immediately as Jacob deGrom allowed a leadoff dong in his first outing since having a start skipped on the previous road trip.<\/p>\n
Overall deGrom had a decent outing by current day standards \u2014 he allowed just two runs on three hits in five innings \u2014 but he was also responsible for the first of two Angels two-out runs as they padded their lead. A final run came in the ninth on a bookend solo home run.<\/p>\n
But none of those extra runs really mattered as the Rangers didn\u2019t even manage to match the first pitch home run from Anaheim. Instead Texas was held scoreless fresh after shutting out Cleveland twice in a row.<\/p>\n
And so the Rangers are back below .500. They are running out of Nathan Eovaldi starts and they\u2019ve pretty much exhausted their supply of emotional rug pulls as September beckons.<\/p>\n
Player of the Game: Hey, recently maligned reliever Robert Garcia tossed a scoreless inning with a couple of Ks so that\u2019s a positive development.<\/p>\n
Up Next: The Rangers and Angels will play again tomorrow with LHP Patrick Corbin expected to make the start for Texas opposite LHP Yusei Kikuchi for Anaheim.<\/p>\n
The Tuesday evening first pitch from The Shed is set for 7:05 pm CT and you can watch it on the Rangers Sports Network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Texas Rangers scored zero runs but the Anaheim Angels scored four runs.
