What an exciting game for us Texas Rangers fans!
Our boys started strong right from the top of the first inning. Josh Smith got things rolling with a single to left, and Sam Haggerty followed with a single to center, scoring Smith thanks to a fielding error. Haggerty later scored on a wild pitch, giving us a 2-0 lead over the Pirates. It was the perfect start!Long Balls and Solid Defense
In the fourth inning, Adolis GarcÃ*a blew it wide open with a massive 418-foot homer to left-center, extending our lead to 3-0. Not long after, Corey Seager added to the tally with his own 377-foot bomb in the fifth inning. Our defense was just as impressive, holding the Pirates to only 2 runs while shutting down their efforts with swift fielding and clutch pitching.Clutch Hits and Closing it Out
The hits kept coming! In the seventh inning, Marcus Semien tripled and was brought home by another stellar double from Adolis GarcÃa. Ezequiel Duran, on his debut at first base, also contributed with a crucial double in the ninth inning that helped boost our score. The final score settled at 6-2, with our bullpen seamlessly shutting the Pirates down in the final innings. R. Garcia came in to close, sealing the victory with authority!
All in all, a great team effort, strong at-bats, and a flawless bullpen performance secured this victory. Let's go Rangers!
