Please help me i struggle with paraphrasing

The following passage is from page 146 of the book The Baseball Journal by M. Tettleton:

The 2010 World Series featured the San Francisco Giants from the National League playing against the Texas Rangers from the American League. It was the first time the Rangers appeared in the World Series, and the Giants had not won a World Series since 1954 when they were located in New York City. The Rangers beat the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series to win their first American League Pennant, and the Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies to win the National League Pennant. Both the Yankees and the Phillies had advanced to the World Series in 2009, just one season earlier. It only took five games for the Giants to win the series. The Rangers played well at times, but they were outplayed by the Giants’ pitching for most of the series. The Giants celebrated a championship in San Francisco for the first time, while the Rangers went home disappointed, but proud to have reached the World Series.

The Rangers played well at times, but they were outplayed by the Giants' pitching for most of the series.

Which of the following best paraphrases the sentence?

A.
For most of the series, the Rangers were outplayed by the Giants' pitching, even though they played well at times (Tettleton 146).
B.
Even though the Rangers had some good moments, they simply could not compete with the Giants' pitchers for the most part (Tettleton 146).
C.
Even though the Rangers had some good moments, they were simply outplayed by the Giants' pitching for the most part (Tettleton 146).
D.
Even though the Rangers played well at times, they were outplayed by the Giants' pitching for the most part (Tettleton 146)
