Here is the paraphrased information:
The Texas Rangers scored 4 runs while the Cleveland Guardians scored 0 runs.
Jon Gray, the Rangers’ starting pitcher, was on the bench in the bottom of the 5th inning, with the game still scoreless and two quick outs for the Rangers. Gray likely assumed he was in for another no-decision, which has been an issue for him and other Rangers starters during what has been a difficult week for the team.
As Gray was preparing himself mentally to go back out and give whatever he had left, Leody Taveras hit a double down the first base line, giving the Rangers a rare extra-base hit and getting them back to the top of the order.
This meant Gray would not get much of a break before heading back out to the mound for the 6th inning. With the top of the order coming up, Marcus Semien then hit a 2-run home run to give the Rangers a 2-0 lead, providing Gray with more run support than he’s accustomed to.
The Rangers later added another 2-run home run, this time from Adolis Garcia, increasing their lead. Meanwhile, the Guardians were unable to score any runs.
The win snapped a 5-game losing streak for the Rangers and kept them from falling below .500, which they had not done since 2022.
Here is the paraphrased information:
The Texas Rangers will have a day off on Thursday before facing the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. The Angels are managed by Ron Washington.
In the series opener on Friday, the Rangers will send left-handed pitcher Andrew Heaney to the mound, while the Angels are expected to start left-hander Tyler Anderson.
The game on Friday night is scheduled to begin at 7:05 PM Central Time and will be televised on Bally Sports Southwest.
