The Rangers had a great week even though the Miami series didn’t really inspire hope for it.
They lost the series against the Marlins but then swept the four game series in Toronto in pretty spectacular fashion.
Going back to their one win in Miami, Alejandro Osuna
had a great use of ABS challenge. he challenged a called strike three to end the inning and ended up getting himself a walk to continue the inning.
And that’s where the good luck ended that inning because no one seems to know what the actual rule is for blocking the plate.
They faired much better north of the border. Texas scored in the first inning of all four games and the of the four wins were by one run. Their largest win was actually a bullpen game.
Ezequiel Duran also had an amazing steal of second that needs to be remembered in Texas Rangers history.
I feel like I say this every good week they have, but I hope they latch on to this and ride the momentum. Should be easier to do since they’re not going into an off day and continuing the road trip in Cleveland.
The Rangers are now first in the division with a .500 record which I’ll celebrate while really that’s kind of crazy to finally be at .500 and that’s what brings you to first place? This division has turned abysmal, but first is first so.
Texas also has the best record in the American League since May 29th.
