RORLIVE! - TexasRangers | Quantrill Fans Seven, Wynns Homers as Texas Leads Rays | Game 107 π± [ExNx2VHGlcR]
Tonight on #RightOnRangers live: β’ Game 107: Texas leads Tampa Bay 4-1 in the eighth inning in a matchup between two first-place teams. β’ Cal Quantrill gave the Rangers 5β innings, two hits, one earned run, one walk and seven strikeouts on only 69 pitches. β’ His biggest moment came in the fourth. Tampa Bay loaded the bases after two hits and catcherβs interference, but Quantrill got Chandler Simpson to ground into a pitcher-to-catcher-to-first double play. β’ Nicky Lopez brought home the first Texas run with a sacrifice fly in the second. β’ Ezequiel Duran added another sacrifice fly in the third after Joc Pederson singled and Wyatt Langford doubled. β’ 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. β’ Junior Caminero finally got Tampa Bay on the board with an RBI triple in the sixth, scoring the runner Quantrill left behind. β’ 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. β’ 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. β’ 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
