Marcus Semien homered and drove in four runs, Jon Gray pitched seven effective innings and the Texas Rangers beat the Kansas City Royals 8-3 on Tuesday night.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
“I thought we did a good job all the way through,” Texas manager Chris Woodward said. “Obviously, got the big hits, but the guys who got on base had really stubborn at-bats. If you can do that every night, we’re tough to pitch to." “Heasley attacked me with a lot of changeups with runners in scoring position,” Semien said. “He located a couple of them and I fouled them off. Then he threw it a little higher and I stayed on it.”
“I felt like I had a good mix going,” Gray said. “We didn’t show everything right away. We were mainly fastball/slider early on. The second and third time through we started using more curveballs and changeups. We were in the zone enough. I walked too many, but I’m happy with the outcome.”“ has good stuff. When we’re swinging at curveballs and changeups below the zone, we make his life easier. But today we didn’t do that,” Woodward said.
