Matt Moore had a quality outing, Rougned Odor walked and reached base thrice, the Rangers hit five dingers including some cathartic shots from Adrian Beltre and Joey Gallo, Robinson Chirinos homered on his birthday, Khris Davis was somehow held to only one home run, Keone Kela struck out the side in the ninth and looked filthy, and the defense played really well with some highlight reel plays.
This was the best overall game of the season so far.
