RANGERS MANAGER CHRIS WOODWARD:

On Lance Lynn's outing:

"He fought and fought and did what we expect. Every time he goes out there he gives us a chance to win. He gave up the
three runs in six (innings), so he did his job. We just didn't score enough."

On what kept the Rangers off-balance at the plate:

"I don't want to make excuses but it was difficult to see with the six o'clock game. The shadows played a factor. I think
more so for [Tommy Milone] because he is an off-speed guy. He changes speed, he moves the ball around and our hitters
had a tough time seeing that changeup. You could tell, there were some ugly swings. And I'm not making excuses, but
that obviously played into [Milone's] game plan more than it did to Lance's.
