Jon Gray (1-1) allowed Edwin Rios' two-run
homer in the second inning. He yielded five other hits over 5
2/3 frames to help the Rangers snap a seven-game road losing
streak.
Tucker Barnhart had a pair of hits for the Cubs, who grounded
into two double plays and committed two errors en route to
seeing their three-game winning streak end.
Chicago's Jameson Taillon (0-2) took the loss after surrendering
five runs (four earned) and six hits while striking out seven
with a walk in five innings.
After totaling three runs in the first two games of the series,
Texas exceeded that amount with four in the second inning alone.
Josh Smith and Heim each singled, and Jankowski delivered an RBI
ground-rule double. Heim then came home on third baseman Nick
Madrigal's throwing error off Thompson's fielder's choice.
Semien followed with a two-run double that added to Taillon's
frustration.
Chicago, though, cut that 4-0 deficit in half in the bottom of
the frame. Rios, who entered 0-for-5 in his Cubs' tenure, took a
Gray offering into the center-field shrubbery.
The Rangers added a run in the fourth. Jankowski reached on Eric
Hosmer's fielding error, stole second and scored on Thompson's
double down the left-field line.
Texas plated three more runs in the sixth inning on Thompson's
RBI triple, a run-scoring single from Semien and an RBI double
from Seager.
The Rangers' bullpen allowed just one hit and struck out five
over 3 1/3 innings.
