Texas RangersvsCleveland Guardians
TEX 6/CLE 3
Things to say
The Texas Rangers beat the Cleveland Guardians 6-3 on the road at Progressive Field.
01
opener
Rangers went into Cleveland and took it, 6-3. Texas put up a crooked number and never really gave it back. Solid road win on a getaway day.
02
key player
Texas heart of the order did the damage. The middle of that lineup left the yard and basically decided it early.
03
hot take
Honestly the Guardians went to the pen too early. Their starter was getting into his stuff and they yanked him.
04
deep cut
Three-run road win and both these teams are hovering right around .500. That's the whole AL Central-Wild Card mess in one game.
05
exit
Anyway, Texas grabs this one. Curious if they can carry the bats into the next series.
The recap
Texas went into Cleveland and grabbed a 6-3 win to climb back to the .500 neighborhood. The bats did the damage early and the bullpen slammed the door, turning a tight one into a comfortable getaway-day result.
Cleveland just couldn't string enough together against the heart of the order, and the Guardians drop to 44-41 with this one. Nice road bounce-back for the Rangers, who needed it.
