Game 100: Three Up, Three Down.

This game, amazingly, was a 50-50 proposition in the eighth. Instead, it ends with that win-loss record.

Sucks to be that close and lose, but on Tarik Skubal Night — especially with your own frontline starter unable to go — it’s certainly not crushing to lose this one of 162 by a single run.

But yeah, these are really big games.

The Rangers lose the game but win the series, by the same count.

Three Up, Three Down from Detroit 2, Texas 1.
