Chicago White SoxvsTexas Rangers
CHW 10/TEX 3
Things to say
The White Sox beat the Rangers 10-3 on the road at Globe Life Field.
01
opener
Sox jumped on Texas early and never let up. Ten runs on the road, that's a statement. Rangers just couldn't keep the line moving.
02
key player
Whoever they ran out at the top of the order was locked in all night. The heart of that Chicago lineup left the yard and it snowballed from there.
03
hot take
Rangers manager went to the pen way too early and it cost him. Once that bullpen door opened it was a track meet.
04
deep cut
Texas sitting at .500, exactly 50-50, and games like this are why. The OBP just isn't there against a lefty who gets into his stuff.
05
exit
Anyway, getaway day tomorrow, let's see if the Rangers can salvage one before they hit the road.
The recap
The White Sox went into Globe Life Field and hung a crooked number on Texas, rolling to a 10-3 win that was never really close. Chicago's bats got into the Rangers' pitching early and often, and once the manager went to the pen the floodgates opened.
Texas just couldn't answer, and a .500 club fell right back to the middle of the pack. Getaway day, White Sox cruise, and the Rangers head home with plenty to chew on.
