Gary Sanchez had this to say about his performance at the plate!

I felt good tonight,” Sánchez said through an interpreter. “I’ve got to say, it’s been a couple of games where I’ve felt really good at the plate. That’s what I’m looking for, that consistency. It’s something I’ve been chasing all year long.”

Texas who is a member of American League West comes into the game with a record of 55-95!

Why?

After a wild pitch moved the runners up, the Nos. 3-4-5 hitters in the Texas lineup responded with three consecutive strikeouts without scoring. That situation proved to be significant as the Rangers fell to New York, 4-3, at Yankee Stadium in the series opener.

Kiner-Falefa had this to say about Texas loss to New York!

I wouldn’t say it’s deflating,but it’s momentum building for the other side “Not scoring that run and giving them the opportunity to build some momentum ... that's a tough lineup over there. You don't want to give them any momentum. Once they got [out of] that first inning, that's a big win for them. When we can’t score right there, that changes the whole dynamic of the game.”

Manager Chris Woodward agreed, saying that it was more of a missed opportunity than anything, especially since the Rangers did come out aggressive. He even felt like Adolis García had a good at-bat in the inning, before he chased on the last pitch to strike out swinging for the first out.

“Once we got second and third [with no outs], your job is to get that guy in and that guy over,” Woodward said. “Anything over to the right side, we'll do that, because they were playing infield back. It’s just a missed opportunity that you hope it doesn't come back to bite you. Clearly in a 4-3 loss, it came back to bite us, because we could have easily just hit a weak ground ball to second and a fly ball and we end up winning, 5-4.”
