Tough Loss for the Rangers! 
What started off as a promising game for the Texas Rangers ended in disappointment as we fell to the San Francisco Giants 3-2. Right from the top of the 1st inning, it seemed like we had the momentum on our side. Jake Burger and Joc Pederson came out swinging with back-to-back doubles, setting up Marcus Semien for a single that pushed both runners across home plate. We enjoyed an early 2-0 lead and the excitement was incredible! 
Defense Held Strong Early, But...
The Giants answered back in the bottom of the 1st when Willy Adames scored on a walk, thanks to a patient approach at the plate. Our pitchers did well to hold them at bay in the next couple of innings, striking out Heliot Ramos looking, and Christian Koss completely whiffing. Shout out to Josh Smith and Nick Ahmed for some tidy defensive plays to keep the Giants from advancing.
Nail-biting Finish 
As we reached the later innings, the tension was palpable. Leody Taveras was blazing on the base paths with two doubles today, but was unfortunately left stranded each time. It all came crashing down in the bottom of the 9th when a throwing error made by Jake Burger allowed the Giants to score, leaving us heartbroken. Though Dustin Harris and Adolis García also had their moments, luck just wasn't on our side in the end. Despite the loss, there were some standout performances, and we can look forward to upcoming games with optimism! Let's go, Rangers!
