ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Ty France and the Seattle Mariners never left Texas with a win last season. In their first trip to the Rangers’ ballpark this year, they took the series and first place in the AL West from the reigning World Series champions
France and Urías hit two-run homers and Luis Castillo pitched six solid innings in a 4-3 win Thursday to take two of three in a stadium where the Mariners had lost eight games in a row, including all six last season.
“It’s nice to get off to a good start here. Historically, last year, it was a tough go for us. But get a couple wins under our belt here, it’s a nice way to start the year,” France said. “We don’t have to prove anything, we’re a good baseball team.”
Nathaniel Lowe and Josh Smith hit solo homers for Texas (13-13), which had been first in the division all season until the Mariners (13-12) took the series opener. The Rangers went back on top by a half-game with a 5-1 win Wednesday.
