The Rangers (56-99) answered on the first pitch of the eighth when Jose Trevino took rookie Brooks Kriske deep, spoiling Baltimore’s pursuit of its third shutout in a week. Right-hander Chris Ellis, who missed his previous start with arm fatigue, pitched the first three innings in what was already scheduled to be a shorter start, but he left earlier than planned when he again experienced tightness in his pitching shoulder. He said he hopes to return quickly, but with only seven games left in the season, it’s possible he ends 2021 with a 2.49 ERA in six starts with Baltimore.
