They say when you tune in to an MLB game every day, you may see something that you’ve never seen before, no matter how many games you watch.

For Rangers fans, the last four days of extra innings baseball have been something that many fans across baseball have not seen in a very long time, if at all.

When the Rangers and Orioles finished nine innings tied at three in their series opener at Globe Life Field on Monday night, Texas had secured its fourth straight extra-innings game.

The run ties the franchise record for the most consecutive games played past nine innings, having only been done once before with the Rangers playing extra innings in each game of a four-game series with the Seattle Mariners way back in 2002.

Unfortunately, tonight won’t be remembered positively in the history books for the Rangers and their fans as Texas fell to Baltimore 10-6 in 11 innings.

“Sure, the result wasn’t what you’re looking for, but the effort, they’re going as hard as they can,” Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said.

“They’ve been taking some punches, but they’ve gotten up and punched back, and that’s all you can ask is keep fighting, and they’re doing that, we’ve just gotta execute better obviously, but to see us come back the way we have in some of these games, how hard they’re fighting, I’m proud of them”.

Trailing 3-0 in the 6th inning, Marcus Semien launched a two-run home run into the second deck in left field to put the Rangers right back in it.

Semien reached base in all five plate appearances tonight (3-3, 2BB) and has hit safely in six straight contests.

In the 7th, Rangers centerfielder Michael Helman manufactured the game-tying run after he stole second base and advanced all the way home when Orioles catcher Gary Sanchez fired the ball into center field.

With the game locked in that stalemate, Baltimore came up with three runs in the 10th on a two-run home run from Gunnar Henderson and a solo shot from Colton Cowser.

Much like Bochy mentioned, the Rangers found a way to fight back again as Adolis Garcia launched a game-tying three-run home run to electrify the Globe and tie the game at six.

However, that momentum wouldn’t last long as the Orioles scored four runs in the 11th marking the final blow in this one.
