Mitchell Shines, But Rays Fall Short
Despite a fine performance by first baseman Dan Mitchell, the Tampa Bay Rays lost to the Texas Rangers, 10-8. Mitchell went 4 for 4 with a home run, a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. The winning pitcher was Sonny Gray. He's now 1-1. He went 5 innings, allowing 4 runs on 10 hits for the Rangers. Tampa Bay now is 2-7.

Elys Escobar had a big 2-run double for the Rangers in the bottom of the third inning. With Texas leading 4-1 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a slider from Rocky Smith and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 2nd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Rangers ahead, 6-1.

"If you were looking for a pitchers' duel," said Escobar, "this wasn't it."
