Two innings later, the Rangers made Tampa Bay pay for a leadoff walk of No. 7 hitter Travis Jankowski. Ezequiel Duran doubled him home and with two outs, and the Rays turned to Jalen Beeks. Seager drove the first pitch into the right-field stands to make it 6-0.
“He is such a tough competitor,” Bochy said. “He was not as sharp as he’s been, but he competes. He’s got maniacal focus out there.

They lead the majors in two-out runs scored with 161. Tampa Bay, which scored four two-out runs in the opener, is second at 154.
