Brandon Nimmo knocks in five to lead Rangers

Brandon Nimmo drove in five runs to lead the Rangers, but the provided game recap centers on Daniel Palencia’s struggles in Chicago. In Tuesday’s matchup against the Brewers, Palencia was charged with a blown save and the loss after entering the sixth with a 3-1 lead and two on base. He quickly gave up a run-scoring balk. The inning then turned when Seiya Suzuki, accounting for the wall at Wrigley Field, mishandled a fly down the right-field line, resulting in a double for Andrew Vaughn. Palencia was not directly at fault for that play, but Christian Yelich’s subsequent two-run homer extended the damage. Since coming off the IL, Palencia has allowed six runs in 3 1/3 innings over four appearances, and he’s unlikely to resume closing soon.
