The go-ahead home run was set up by a walk from Seattle’s J.P. Crawford. In the next at bat, Barlow went behind in the count to Suarez 2-0 before he left a fastball over the heart of the plate.

That’s the longest save streak the Rangers have had since Keone Kela converted 25-straight chances between May 2017 and July 2018.

He’s not going to be perfect all year.” Rangers manager Chris Woodward said of Barlow.Seattle Mariners third baseman Eugenio Suarez tips his cap to the crowd after a victory over the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field on Friday, June 3, 2022.
