Only failures for the Texas Rangers against the San Diego Padres, no provocative fireworks..

The San Diego Padres won the series’ last two games as the Texas Rangers were limited to six hits, including just one extra base hit.

ARLINGTON — The Texas Rangers did not launch any offensive fireworks on Thursday.

Basically all failures.

The San Diego Padres won the last two games of the series, including a 3-1 victory on Thursday at Globe Life Field, to put an end to the Rangers’ string of several extra-base hits.

After racking up 26 extra-base hits in their previous four games, the Rangers were limited to only five singles and Corey Seager’s double in the sixth inning. Wyatt Langford’s RBI single allowed Seager to score, cutting the Padres’ advantage to 2-1.

Former Rangers player Jurickson Profar led off the fourth with a single and scored on Jorge Solano’s two-out double. Profar homered in the sixth to give the Padres a 2-0 lead.

Three thoughts from Thursday’s game:

1. Max Scherzer

Max Scherzer allowed three runs on six hits and a walk in 6 1/3 innings in his third start this season. He struck out three while throwing a season-high 90 pitches in a second-long 6 1/3.
“Physically, I’m definitely better. [My] arm felt better. Got to 90 pitches and felt strong there and even got into the seventh,” Scherzer said. “From a psychical standpoint, I’m really doing well, and that’s what’s encouraging coming out of this start.”
