ARLINGTON, Texas - Oftentimes in baseball, a game is won or lost by how a team does or does not capitalize on opportunities.
Multiple times on Tuesday night, it felt like the Texas Rangers' offense had the chance to come up with a big swing. However, they could not find it.
The Chicago White Sox, however, were able to turn multiple walks into runs, and that was the difference in the game.
Texas fell to the White Sox 4-2, dropping the three-game series and falling back to .500 at 51-51 on the season.
In the fourth inning, it felt like Texas had its big moment despite the game still being in the early stages. The Rangers had the bases loaded with no one out and seemed primed for a big inning.
However, Elias Diaz bounced into a double play, and Alejandro Osuna struck out as Texas managed just one run, which ended up being their last of the night.
“I thought we took good at-bats; it’s just the bases loaded, no outs was kinda the difference in the game,” Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said.
“It’s been kinda an issue the whole year, quite honestly, the bases-loaded situation, and we gotta figure out how to score crooked numbers in those situations to at least tie or put us in the lead…” Schumaker said.
After the fourth, the Rangers did not record a single hit, going 0-for-18 and punching out nine times.
Texas would end up striking out 12 times on the night and did not record a single base runner after the 6th inning.
Cam Cauley provided one of the lone bright spots of the night when he connected on his first Major League home run to tie the game at one in the second inning.
“You’ll never forget your first home run,” Schumaker said. “It’s a super special moment. I know it’s tough to celebrate that during a loss, but he’ll always have that- really cool and special for him.”
Just two innings after Cauley’s home run, the White Sox came up with a pair of RBI singles against Rangers bulk pitcher Cal Quantrill, who pitched just three innings behind the opener. Chicago added another run in the sixth off Jakob Junis to put the game away.
The Rangers have now lost both of their series since the All-Star break and have dropped four of their last six contests.
