39-44 - Dunning’s dud dooms Rangers to 6-5 loss to Twins

The Texas Rangers scored five runs but the Minnesota Twins scored six runs.

The Rangers weren’t even on the road so Dane Dunning didn’t have a built in excuse for his poor performance today. While he allowed his customary 1st inning run, he didn’t recover to even give Texas innings as he allowed four runs on six hits and four walks in 2 13 innings in an outing that actually could have been much worse.

Dunning is also lucky to not be saddled with the loss as the Texas bats tied the game at three runs apiece and then again at 4-4 before the Twins scored the next two runs while being wise enough to allow the Rangers to get within one run therefore making it impossible for them to win.
