The Rangers had five hits through the first two innings tonight and all that amounted to was one run. By the time they scored again in the sixth inning, the score was 4-1 Kansas City. The Rangers also didn’t draw a walk, had one extra base hit all night, and ultimate didn’t do enough with their opportunities with runners on base.
