Royals rally past Rangers in series opener after strong start

The Texas Rangers faced the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday at Kauffman Stadium, ending in a 5-3 defeat. The Rangers took an early lead, scoring twice off a Jake Burger single and an error on aggressive base stealing. However, a solo home run by Jac Caglianone sparked a Royals comeback in the sixth inning, leading to a four-run frame that reversed the game's momentum. Nathan Eovaldi's struggles on the mound contributed to the Royals' surge, marking a difficult night for the Rangers, who have now dropped their record to 32-34. They will look to even the series on Wednesday at 6:40 p.m. CT.
