Rangers Drop Game 1 To Rays
The Texas Rangers opened the 2011 ALDS in disastrous fashion on Friday at the Ballpark in Arlington. The Rangers lost 9-0 to the Tampa Bay Rays.
Texas managed just 2 hits in the game, both by Josh Hamilton. Tampa pitcher Matt Moore went 7 innings to earn the win.
Rangers starter C.J. Wilson gave up 3 home runs in 5 innings. Wilson never had control of the strike zone as he allowed 8 runs.
Texas will have to be better at the plate in Game 2 when they face All-Star pitcher James Shields. The Rangers only scored one run in 17 innings in the previous two games against Shields.
Game 2 is Saturday at 7:00pm at the Ballpark.
