It was a productive three game series for the Texas Rangers even though they lost to the Seattle Mariners 4-3 in 12 innings on Wednesday afternoon. The Rangers took two out of three games from the Rangers and are now two games away from hitting the .500 mark.
Scott Feldman threw seven innings of six hit baseball on Wednesday as he started the game for the Rangers. He allowed three runs but only one of those was earned. An error by Ramon Vazquez in the seventh inning really hurt the Rangers as two runs would score that inning off Feldman.
Doug Mathis, C.J. Wilson, Jamey Wright, and Eddie Guardado all pitched one inning of relief and all pitched scoreless innings. It wasn’t until Franklyn German came into the game did the bullpen give up a run. It’s too bad that that one run decided the ballgame. German took the loss and his record dropped to 1-2 on the season.
Michael Young, Josh Hamilton, and David Murphy all had one rbi in the game for the Rangers. They were just missing out on that one home run or one big hit to knock a couple more runs in. All in all though, it was a good series for the Rangers in my opinion.
