The Texas Rangers trailed by one with the tying run at second and the winning run at first with no one out.Semien ripped a 94.
“Most we’ve ever been,” Semien said about his team’s motivation. “Season’s on the line. It’s a building we’ve played good baseball and let’s continue to do that.”The Rangers’ failures at home this series don’t fall solely on Seager and Semien — their starting pitching struggled in Games. Their bullpen blew Game 5. But Seager and Semien haven’t been the stars that they were signed to be. Semien is 3 for 21 with no RBIs and all three hits have been singles. Seager is 5 for 22.

Semien popped his out to first base. Seager flied his out to left field to end the inning.“Faced Verlander a ton of times, got some pitches to hit and didn’t do what I wanted to do,” Semien said. “That’s how today went. That’s the last couple games went. I’m not going to stop working.
