The Rangers got the first run of the game in the bottom of the first as Nick Gilmore led off with a double and scored on Rob Pederson's RBI single. The only other tally came in the final inning when Pederson led off the 7th with a single. Gilmore ran for Pederson and stole second and scored on a hit from Jonmarc Lippincott.
