Tough Loss Against the Orioles 
Hey Rangers fans! It's always rough when we fall just short, especially in such a tight game. The boys gave it their all, but it wasn't enough to secure the win against the Orioles today.Game Recap 
Let's dive into the action. The game started with our top order trying to set the tone, but Marcus Semien and Corey Seager couldn't get much going early on. Adolis García grounded out to end the first inning. Leody Taveras had a promising knock in the third, a single followed by a stolen base, but unfortunately, we couldn't capitalize. In the fourth inning, the Orioles struck first when Colton Cowser blasted a homer to right center. This gave them the lead, 1-0. By the fifth, the Orioles added another run after a single from Jorge Mateo and a costly error on our part.
Rallying Efforts 
In the seventh, we had some glimmers of hope. Adolis García showed patience at the plate with a walk and Taveras managed to draw a walk that brought García home. This brought the score to 2-1, and the momentum felt like it was shifting in our favor, but Semien couldn't drive in more runs and ended the inning with a groundout.The bullpens were solid in the latter part of the game. Jonathan Hernández, LaVall Motl, and others held their own, keeping any more runs from crossing for the Orioles.
Final Inning Heartbreak 
We entered the ninth inning down just one run, but it was not to be. Craig Kimbrel for the Orioles managed to strike out both Jankowski and Heim. When Taveras grounded out to first, it ended our hopes of a comeback. A final score of 2-1 handed us a bitter loss.Looking Ahead 
Though today didn't go as we hoped, there were definitely some positives. Corey Seager and Leody Taveras had good at-bats, and our pitchers showed their tenacity. We'll take this as a learning experience and come back stronger in our next game.Keep cheering for our boys, Rangers fans! Let's bounce back and show what we're really made of!
