Alejandro Osuna also drew a walk.  That was it for baserunners for the Rangers.<br \/>\nThe Rangers were hitless with runners in scoring position, of course.  But then, they only had one at bat with runners in scoring position, so.<br \/>\nMarcus Semien has one double this season.  One.  I can\u2019t understand how that\u2019s even possible.<br \/>\nI am so very disappointed right now.<br \/>\nTyler Mahle reached 94.7 mph with his fastball, averaging 92.6 mph.  Luke Jackson hit 93.8 mph with his fastball.  Hoby Milner threw one fastball at 88.0 mph.  Robert Garcia\u2019s fastball topped out at 94.6 mph.  Jacob Webb maxed out at 95.7 mph with his fastball.<br \/>\nWyatt Langford had a 108.6 mph line out and a 102.4 mph fly out.  Corey Seager had a 104.7 mph ground out.  Jake Burger had a 104.6 mph force out.  Alejandro Osuna had a 103.5 mph ground out.  Adolis Garcia had a 102.8 mph ground out.<br \/>\nAn off day for us to all wallow in the disappointment.<\/p>\n<p>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonestarball.com\/\" class=\"c-tab-bar__logo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/large_Lone_Star_Ball_Full.95930.png\" class=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>  <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thoughts on a 2-0 Rangers loss &#8211; Lone Star Ball Skip to main content clock more-arrow no yes&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":65849,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2393],"tags":[196,2229,5,181,3243,4885,4,967,149,3244,1567,69,3240,4644],"class_list":{"0":"post-65848","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-texas-rangers","8":"tag-a","9":"tag-ball","10":"tag-baseball","11":"tag-front-page","12":"tag-lone","13":"tag-loss","14":"tag-mlb","15":"tag-on","16":"tag-rangers","17":"tag-star","18":"tag-texas","19":"tag-texas-rangers","20":"tag-texasrangers","21":"tag-thoughts"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/114596000884285627","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65848\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
