In their first appearance in Arlington since winning the 2010 World Series, the San Francisco Giants failed to relieve the same celebration from that November night.
Elvis Andrus and Adrian Beltre each hit home runs in the first two innings, as the Texas Rangers defeated the Giants 6-3 at Global Life Park.
It was a rough night for Madison Bumgarner, as he allowed six runs for the second time this season, and also struck out in seven innings.
Things got testy between the teams at the end of the third inning, as Delino DeShields popped out to end the inning and flipped his bat in the process. Following the flip of the bat, a shouting match between Beltre and Bumgarner began.
Both benches and bullpen cleared, but order was restored and there no were no ejections from either side.
Nick Martinez went 6.1 innings, allowing two runs and struck out four on his way to his sixth win of the season.
Brandon Crawford hit his 16th home run of the season for the Giants in the top of the ninth inning.
