Dane Dunning took a one-hitter into the seventh inning and Josh Jung homered and drove in four runs Monday night to lead the defending World Series champion Texas Rangers to a 9-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.
The All-Star third baseman left in the ninth inning when he was struck by a pitch he swung at and missed.“I just feel horrible for him. He’s had such tough luck on this thing as far as the injuries and it puts a damper on this one,” Bochy said. “He’ll be back. I talked to him briefly, and this hurts. You know I feel for the kid because he’s had to deal with so much. ... It’s going to be a little while but he’ll be back.
The right-hander didn't retire another batter, departing after sandwiching a pair of walks around Siri's two-run homer that trimmed Tampa Bay's deficit to 6-3.. The All-Star third baseman hit a three-run homer in the first and added an RBI single off Pepiot during a three-run sixth., gives him three in four games this season. He drove in another run when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the ninth.
The Rangers went 11-0 on the road during their 2023 championship run, beginning the journey with a pair of victories over the Rays at Tropicana Field in a sweep of their best-of-three AL Wild Card Series. Tampa Bay was limited to two extra-base hits and one run over 18 innings.Pepiot yielded six runs and four hits in 5 2/3 innings. He was acquired in December — along with outfielderto the Dodgers.
The right-hander settled after giving up two walks to begin the game, then falling behind 3-0 on Jung's second homer of the season. Texas managed just three hits over the next five innings — Wyatt Lanford's one-out single in the fourth,“That was a little bit of an odd outing,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “He really threw the ball well. You take away the walks and I think we're all pretty pleased with the stat line.
