Rangers, Atlanta Braves
Digest more
Marcus Semien hit an RBI single in the 10th inning and the Texas Rangers beat the Atlanta Braves 6-5 on Saturday night, seven innings after the second baseman took a 94.6 mph fastball to the helmet.
Just this past month, the Rangers broke out their red hats for the first time this year vs. the Mariners. The red hats were the club’s only hats for its first three playoff seasons and a regular part of the rotation in the 2010-11 World Series runs.
After the Rangers recorded a win over the Braves, it was led by an effective performance from Nathan Eovaldi, who spoke about his outing.
The Rangers have the second-worst record against left-handed pitching and are dead last in OBP, slugging and OPS against lefties.
