Rocky Start for the Rangers
What a rollercoaster of emotions at the Globe Life Field today as our Texas Rangers faced off against the Colorado Rockies. While it wasn't the result we were hoping for, it's always thrilling to witness some incredible plays. Right from the get-go, Marcus Semien got us off to a promising start with an infield single, and things were looking up when Joc Pederson smashed a 375-foot homer to bring the score to 2-0 in the bottom of the 1st inning.
Rockies Fight Back
Alas, the Rockies came back strong in the top of the 2nd inning with Sam Hilliard's two-run homer that brought them to a tie. Our pitcher had his hands full as the Rockies wouldn't let up. The real blow came in the 5th inning when Michael Toglia and Jordan Beck both hit homers, giving the Rockies a 5-2 lead. While Corey Seager tried to keep our hopes alive with a 395-foot home run in the bottom of the 5th, bringing us back to 3-5, the Rockies widened the gap again shortly after.
Struggling to Catch Up
Our bullpen did its best to tame the Rockies' aggressive play style. Cody Thomas gave us a glimmer of hope with a solo 413-foot homer in the 8th inning, bringing the score to 4-7. But unfortunately, the Rockies' pitchers held us back from mounting a full comeback. We couldn't string enough hits together to rally and ultimately fell short.
Looking Ahead
While today's game didn't end in our favor, this team has heart, and we saw sparks of brilliance from some of our players. There’s a lot we can take from this game, and I'm confident our Rangers will come back stronger in our next showdown. Go Rangers!
