Carter complimented Eovaldi's performance on the mound. In addition, he spoke about how Corey Seager and Jake Burger set the tone for the offense. Seager had hit a home run in the first inning to give the Rangers the lead. In total, the Rangers had six runs and eight hits on the night and had a lead they would not surrender.
It was a nice change for the Rangers, who came into the game with just six runs over their past three games. Notably, they have scored three or fewer runs in six of their past nine games. Seager has been in a slump lately , and his home run was a sign that he could be coming out of it. Meanwhile, Carter has also been slumping, batting just 1.78 with four home runs, 11 RBIs, and 13 runs. Prior to Wednesday, he had just one hit over nine games.
The Rangers are just 19th in batting average, 22nd in on-base percentage, 28th in runs, and 24th in home runs and slugging percentage. Being able to score some runs against the Yankees was a nice relief for what has been a struggling offense. With the Yankees turning to Paul Blackburn for the final game of this series, the Rangers will be facing someone familiar. Blackburn has struggled against them, going 0-3 with a 12.00 ERA over four career starts against the Rangers.
