Rangers starter Kyle Gibson took a shutout into the sixth, but a lack of run support ultimately led to Texas' 2-1 walk-off loss to the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field on Saturday night.

The Rangers trailed, 1-0, after the sixth inning before Willie Calhoun stepped up to bat in the top of the ninth. On a high-fastball, Calhoun smashed the tying run 418 feet out of the park, forcing the bottom of the ninth.

“It's a fun game to be a part of going back and forth,” Gibson said. “Both teams were looking for the big hit. And Willie gave us a big hit in the ninth inning and gave us a shot in the arm.”

Unfortunately for the Rangers, their offense did not get another chance to follow up. Left-hander John King surrendered a two-out, two-strike double to Nick Madrigal for the walk-off loss.

“John threw the ball so well, I feel for him because he threw the ball really, really well all night,” Gibson said. “You know, and then a good hitter came up with a good swing there at the end.”

Gibson gave a solid performance in this fifth start of the season, allowing just one run and two walks over six innings.

That final inning for the righty proved to be a challenge. Gibson allowed a leadoff single, which registered an exit velocity of only 54.1 mph, before getting a lineout and benefiting from a caught stealing to record the first two outs of the inning. Then back-to back singles and a walk loaded the bases.

Gibson then threw a wild pitch, allowing Yoán Moncada to break the scoreless tie.

“The one pitch that's frustrating was the changeup that I spiked,” said Gibson. “I didn't throw too many of them, and then I got in a spot where I felt like it was a good spot to use it. And, unfortunately, with batters on came that run.”

Gibson threw just eight changeups all game, including the wild pitch, during his season-high 99-pitch outing.

Before that run, Gibson tossed 19 scoreless innings, tying the longest scoreless streak in MLB this season and the third longest of his career (22 and 20 innings in the 2014-15 seasons).

What impressed manager Chris Woodward most about his starting pitcher was his ability to get out of tough situations.

With runners still on second and third, things could have been much worse for the righty. With a full count, Yasmani Grandal struck out swinging, ending the inning and Gibson’s night.

“Gibby did really, really well,” Woodward said. “I got nothing but positives, honestly. These things are gonna turn into wins if we keep it up. I truly believe that. And I know that these guys have to go through these things sometimes.”

Woodward said that he loves the resiliency of his team and believes that they just got unlucky at times.

“The [White Sox] pitch well, but I thought we actually played a better game tonight,” he said.

The offense was putting the ball in play with 11 hits, but was unable to deliver with runners in scoring position, going 1-for-7 in Saturday’s game.

This marks the first time since 2014 that the Rangers produced just one run with 11 hits and the 10th time in team history.
