Originally, this post was supposed to be about the Rangers fought but lost but lost on a Miguel Cabrera single with the bases loaded for just the second time this season. Having just two losses on the season is excellent.
Although the Rangers lost the game in the bottom of the ninth to drop to 10-2, the more significant loss came to end the top of the first. After Michael Young singled with one out, Josh Hamilton tripled. When the next batter, Adrian Beltre fouled a popup that got away from the catcher, the third base coach elected to send the speedy Hamilton and force a play at home plate. Catcher Victor Martinez did locate the ball in time to make a play. Hamilton dived into home as a result, yet was still tagged out. Following the inning, he immediately went down the tunnel and did not return. Ian Kinsler replaced me in the lineup at designated hitter for his next at-bat.
In interviews after the game, Hamilton said he did not want to break for home but followed his coach’s instructions. An MRI revealed that Hamilton suffered a small fracture of the humerus bone in his shoulder.
