Texas Rangers Home Opener yesterday:

MacKenzie Gore was dominant: 6 IP, 9 K, 0 BB, just 3 ER on solo shots.Then the bullpen happened. Chris Martin served up a go-ahead 2-run homer to Tyler Stephenson in the 9th after Spencer Steer doubled, turning a tied home opener into a 5-3 loss.

Middle relief held.

The backend didn't. Same old story?
