Kyle Tucker had a good game, but he could not keep the Chicago Cubs from falling, 5-4, to the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field. The Chicago right fielder was 3-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times in the loss. Jonathan Stiever earned the win for Texas. He lasted 5.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits, while striking out 6. With the win, he raised his record to 10-6. The Rangers go to 45-76 with the win.

Reese McGuire aided the Texas cause with a run-scoring ground out in the bottom of the third. For the game, the catcher was 1-4.

"No time for flexing," said McGuire. "It's always one game at a time."
