Home runs by Nate Lowe and Joey Gallo in the fourth and fifth innings broke things open for the Rangers, who managed to put 10 runners on base against Manaea on the day. It was the third straight loss for the lefty despite a 24:6 KK:BB over 16.1 innings during that stretch. He'll take a 3.13 ERA and 1.24 WHIP into his next scheduled start, projected to come next week in Houston.
