So Castro nice at bat to start play tonight. A seven pitch at bat and will he is on to begin play here tonight? Two 42 average 11 home runs. This one lined out to center to Varis right there though. He makes the catch one away. A runner at first top of the first for Royce Lewis fly ball, center field and Tavares races in now there are two outs and matt Walder is coming up here in the top of the first high fly ball center field, taveras waits on it and takes care of it one handed three putouts in a row for taveras after a leadoff single David Festa four fastball slider change up pretty typical 6 ft six from Seton Hall is one out here in the bottom of the first of a scoreless game Seeger. A 272 batter with 26 homers that's tied for seventh in the league 63 RBIs and he swings and loops one in the air left center that will fall did not hit that one hard and dunked it in there a one out single first ranger base runner in this scoreless game with two outs and a runner at first. No score. Here is a red hot Adolis Garcia who's reached base safely in nine straight games and is hitting three seven in the month of August. Struck him out, came back to the change up and Festa strikes out two Rangers lead one and we've got two men out here on ground balls in the second inning, two out. And that brings up the Edward julian. Here's the one too and he strikes out, swing to the bottom of the second. We go nothing, nothing. Langford at 241 with seven homers. Fest is 3 to 2 that's chopped down toward third deep behind the back bobbled back there. Lewis couldn't hold on to it and Langford is aboard to start the second inning. Langford advances. So he's 90 ft away now and that brings Carson Kelly to the dish. This one lined over short, that's a base hit and Kelly brings in Langford Rangers get that first run of the night one. Nothing Rangers as we begin play here in the third inning. Christian Vasquez. This one up the middle and that one is sliding. Stop second. Great play by Marcus Simeon. They get Vasquez one away. Eovaldi on a bit of a roll nine straight retired and we move to the bottom of the 3rd 1 to 0. Texas Rangers get another opportunity here against Festa in the third inning. Top of the order. Samon leading it off. 3 to 2 is lobbed out into right field and that falls in front of Kempler for the base hits is aboard to start the third, the leadoff single by Simeon does not materialize into a run and we go to the fourth with the Rangers leading one to nothing. Trevor nick. First up the number two batter for the Twins tracks this one high and deep to right center field. This one caring towards the bullpen and gone sweet swing from Trevor nick and now finally has the results he wanted 403 off the bat is 12th and the twins tied up. It's a 11 game and there are two outs here in the bottom of the fourth. Jonah. He is next, he rolled out to second his first time. He to the gap in right center and that won't be caught. That will find the wall as Kepler throws it back in, it's a two out double for him. Carson Kelly who drove in the first run will now try to break the 11 tie. Kelly is swinging a high fly ball to deep left field back goes nick, he's still going at the wall and that one bounces against the wall scores easily. Kelly's in at second with his second RB I hit of the game. The Rangers regain the lead. It's 2 to 1. Rangers back on top 2 to 1. Eovaldi faces Eddie julian Julian batting seventh tonight. Struck out his first time and there's a strikeout of Julian second time tonight that he's gone down on strike. Vasquez was robbed by Simmy in his first time. There's a swinging strike out of Vasquez back to back cases for Eovaldi 70 pitches thrown by Eovaldi 12 in that 123 inning. We go to the bottom of the fifth with the Rangers leading the twins 2 to 1. Simeon Seeger and Lowe against David Festa at time. Semion chased the changeup so a big 3 to 2 pitch there from David Fest. Semion is out number 1/5 strikeout for Festa tonight, Festa is gone five innings four times the deepest he's gone yet in any big league game. And this time induce that swing from Seager went back to the change up. Well done. David Festa as the Slim Reaper sets him down in order in the bottom of the fifth inning. We've played five and now we see Ronnie Enriquez facing his first organization, two men out on a couple of groundball outs here in the bottom half of the sixth one pitch and that one is lined out to center field base hit for young. One of his better swings in a while right there. So young with a small lead. Here's Jonah Eddie Julian throws out Jim and the Rangers lead one good tight ball game between these two clubs here. Eovaldi has retired nine straight. The 2 to 2 pitch swing and a miss a little punchy cut at a fastball at the top of the zone. And so Walner strikes out for a second time and brings up Carlos Santana and that's on the inside corner for a called third strike. They get six punch outs now for Eovaldi here this evening, one, 2, 3/7 inning. Keep going here tonight. Rangers lead by a run. It's seventh inning stretch Globe field. Two men are out in the inning and here's Corey sees that first pitch and he swings and hits one back up the middle right and Castro takes it to the bag himself and steps on the pillow forcing Leoti to and ending the inning. Baldi out to begin the eighth inning. He's been fantastic back to back singles here both on 02 counts to start the eighth inning and the twins have the T and run in scoring position. Now, a bunt, third base line of beauty young bare hand throws just in time close play and Rocco is going to challenge that save bases loaded. Nobody out in a one run game and they will give it to David Robertson and he's on to face Castro with the bases loaded and nobody out base hit to left center. Julian scores. Vasquez has the green light. He will score. Mart-n gets away and it skips out of play and Castro is at second. Mart-n will score. The twins have scored three. Castro ends up at third and this game turns on one swing. It's 4 to 2, first walk either side of the ball game and the hitter will be Kepler line to right. That's going to be a fair ball that's going to find the corner. Santana will stop at third base Kepler in his second. He's in safely with the ninth inning double. Kyle Farmer. The birthday boy is batting runners are on at second and third. Farmer sends it to left center. This will be deep enough Taveras to catch Santana tags throw comes to short and a sack fly from kyle Farmer and the twins extend the lead. It's 5 to 2. The twins have a 5 to 2 lead bottom nine and Cole Sands Hawk seeking his fourth save of the season with two away. It's up to Carson Kelly or the Rangers will be 12 games under 500 for the first time this year to Lewis at third and the Twins rally and take game 352 of the final score.
