The Rangers started off very strong in this game taking a four to nothing lead over the Mariners scoring 3 in the first and one in the 2nd inning. This even including Shin Soo Choo knocking in a solo home run for his first as a Ranger. That lead seemed to disappear within a blink it seemed like with Tanner Scheppers on the mound. After he pitched two shut out innings he was pounded in the 3rd inning giving up 6 earned runs! Not to be negative, but I have never seen starting potential from Scheppers. From what I have seen from him he is very prone to the long ball. Once enough pitchers get healthy he needs to go back to the bullpen. Scheppers would not be able to get out of the 3rd only getting 1 recorded out in the inning. Luckily, the rest of the pitchers were able to carry the load and prevent the Mariners from scoring the rest of the afternoon. The Rangers batters were able to put men into positions and get the runs necessary to defeat the Mariners 8 to 6! Tonight the White Sox come into town for a three game series.
