Rangers launch five homers, Bailey Ober implodes, and Jonah Bride pitches for the third time in eight days, as Twins suffer another embarrassing blowout.

More proof toward that assessment is the fact that the Rangers outscored Minnesota 34-13 in this series. Indeed, after the 16-run outbreak on Tuesday, the two runs scored in last night’s loss became the aberrant total for this series as today Texas piled 16 more runs on the Twins.

The series is even at one game apiece following the Twins’ 6-2 win last night. Byron Buxton went 3-3 including his eleventh home run of the season (a 479-foot blast!) and Minnesota improved to five games over .500 for the season. Marcus Semien tallied his seventh home run of the season in the loss.

Texas placed Mahle, 30, on the injured list with shoulder with shoulder fatigue. The right-hander is in the midst of the best season of his career as he holds a 2.34 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over 77 innings 14 starts.
