(Photo by Joseph Weiser/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) | Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The **Texas Rangers** scored a run but the **Detroit Tigers** scored five runs. I regret to inform you that the Rangers were back on their bullshit. A mystifying Achilles’ heel for the starting staff so far this season has been a persistent struggle to get the third out in early innings. That particular bugaboo certainly reared its ugly head for Texas once more as Detroit scored five two-out runs in the first two innings against Kumar Rocker and then we all just kind of sat around letting FOX inflate their advertisement metrics until they played the required number of innings. The Tigers had five hits in 12 chances with RISP — including 4-for-5 through two innings — while the Rangers predictably did not have a hit with RISP in their six opportunities. The loss prevented Texas from enjoying a third win in a row, something they’ve only accomplished just twice this season with no such streaks since sweeping Seattle in early April. **Player of the Game**: Jake Burger hit a solo home run to prevent the Rangers from getting shut out. Also, Cal Quantrill came in and provided three scoreless innings in relief of Rocker to at least soak up some innings and prevent Texas from getting blown out after Detroit went up 5-0 through two innings. **Up Next**: The Rangers close out this series with the Tigers back on national TV with RHP Jack Leiter next up for Texas against a pitcher yet to be named for Detroit. The Sunday evening first pitch from Comerica Park is scheduled for 6:20 pm CDT and will be aired on NBCSN/Peacock so be ready to remember yet another password for yet another service to watch your favorite baseball squad!
