Semien goes 2-for-5 with a double vs. Cubs
Marcus Semien went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI on Sunday against the Cubs. Semien knocked a single with the bases loaded in the second inning, driving in the first two runs for the Rangers. He plated a third run in the fourth inning with a double to deep left field before coming around to score on a triple by Wyatt Langford. The 33-year-old second baseman has started 4-for-13 through the opening weekend.
Arozarena homers in loss to Blue Jays
Randy Arozarena went 1-for-3 with a homer in a loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday. Arozarena got the Rays off to a solid start with a solo homer in the first inning off Kevin Gausman, and it was already the second roundtripper of the young season for the outfielder. Unfortunately for him and the Rays, the Blue Jays would score the next nine in a game that was (obviously) dominated by Toronto. When Arozarena has it going, there aren’t many who can compete with his best. A small sample to be sure, but right now it does appear to be going that way.
