RORLIVE! - TexasRangers | Quantrill Fans Seven, Wynns Homers as Texas Leads Rays | Game 107 [yEMHEYjTI2z]
Tonight on #RightOnRangers live: • Game 107: Texas leads Tampa Bay 4-1 in the eighth inning in a matchup between two first-place teams. • Cal Quantrill gave the Rangers 5⅓ innings, two hits, one earned run, one walk and seven strikeouts on only 69 pitches. • His biggest moment came in the fourth. Tampa Bay loaded the bases after two hits and catcher’s interference, but Quantrill got Chandler Simpson to ground into a pitcher-to-catcher-to-first double play. • Nicky Lopez brought home the first Texas run with a sacrifice fly in the second. • Ezequiel Duran added another sacrifice fly in the third after Joc Pederson singled and Wyatt Langford doubled. • Griffin Jax struck out ten Rangers, but Texas still found two runs against him without needing a homer. Traffic, productive outs and enough execution to make it count. • Junior Caminero finally got Tampa Bay on the board with an RBI triple in the sixth, scoring the runner Quantrill left behind. • Austin Wynns answered with a solo homer in the seventh, restoring the two-run cushion and giving Texas its first long ball of the night. • The public play-by-play is still catching up to the fourth Texas run, but the live score now has the Rangers carrying a three-run lead into the late innings. • That is the story tonight. Quantrill missed bats, escaped the biggest jam and handed Texas a lead. The lineup manufactured the early runs, and Wynns gave them some breathing room. Chat question: What stands out more tonight, Quantrill striking out seven and escaping that bases-loaded jam or Texas finding enough offense despite Griffin Jax punching out ten? #TexasRangers #MLB #CalQuantrill #AustinWynns #TampaBayRays
