51-53 - Rangers see winning streak snapped with 6-5 loss to Blue Jays

A chance at .500 squandered

The Texas Rangers scored five runs but the Toronto Blue Jays scored six runs.

No White Sox, no win.

Player of the Game: Adolis Garcia just barely hit a wall-scraping two-run home run that gave the Rangers a brief lead in the middle innings after an RBI hit to lead off the scoring earlier in the game. In addition, he made a diving catch and doubled off a runner to keep the game tied in the seventh.

Up Next: More Rangers...

Orioles, Mariners each make trades for pitchers

Nick Turchiaro-USA TODAY Sports

The Orioles have traded for Zach Eflin, and the Mariners have acquired Yimi Garcia

We have a pair of trades breaking on this Friday afternoon involving American League playoff contenders.

The Baltimore Orioles, who dealt Austin Hays to the Philadelphia Phillies earlier today, have acquired righthanded starting pitcher Zach Eflin from the Tampa Bay Rays for outfielder Matthew Etzel, righthanded pitcher Jackson Baumeister and someone who plays many...

Texas takes on Toronto, in Toronto

Texas Rangers lineup for July 26, 2024 against the Toronto Blue Jays: starting pitchers are Andrew Heaney for the Rangers and Yusei Kikuchi for the Jays.

The Texas Rangers head north of the border to take on the Blue Jays of Toronto. The last time the Rangers had a series in Toronto, they entered the series three games back in the A.L. West and barely hanging on to a Wild Card spot. Texas responded by sweeping the four...

Texas Rangers Star Makes Glorious History

Texas Rangers Starting Pitcher Max Scherzer made another bit of history at home on Thursday against the Chicago White Sox. With a strikeout of Designated Hitter Eloy Jimenez in the top of the second inning, Scherzer is now 10th on the all-time strikeout list.

The Orioles and Phillies made an unusual trade today

We have a rather unusual deal today involving a pair of contenders, with the Baltimore Orioles sending outfielder Austin Hays to the Philadelphia Phillies for outfielder Cristian Pache and reliever Seranthony Dominguez.

Hays, who was a starter for the Orioles the previous three seasons, and who made the All Star team last year, has been largely relegated to the short side of a platoon role at this point...

The Rangers have a pair of players in the newly updated Fangraphs top 100 prospect list

Fangraphs has a post up discussing their updating their top 100 prospect list on The Board prior to Tuesday’s trade deadline. Generally speaking, at this point, my expectation with these lists is that Sebastian Walcott will be somewhere in the top 50, and otherwise, there will be no Texas Rangers on the list.

Walcott is, as expected, in the top 50 on this list...

Friday morning Rangers things

Texas Rangers update for Friday, July 26.

Good morning, LSB.

The Rangers finished off their 4-game sweep of the White Sox yesterday.

Max Scherzer made a little history as Texas slid their AL West deficit down to 2.5 games.

The Rangers’ improved play has kind of forced Chris Young’s hand in terms of buying/selling, Evan Grant writes.

Elsewhere, Kumar Rocker is set to take the mound for the RoughRiders tonight.

Tyler Mahle started there last night and...

51-52 - Rangers complete sweep of Chicago with 2-1 victory

You’ve seen Herbie with a broom, but how about a mop

The Texas Rangers scored twice while the Chicago White Sox scored once.

The Rangers should be allowed to play the White Sox every day, in my opinion.

Even so, and despite winning each of these four games to tie their season-best five game winning streak, Texas didn’t exactly impose their will on Chicago during these four games, not counting yesterday’s blowout victory.

After a couple of...

The Texas Rangers have activated pitcher Dane Dunning today, the team announced. To make room for him on the active roster, the team optioned pitcher Gerson Garabito to AAA Round Rock.

More significant, however, is the move that Bruce Bochy indicated is coming tomorrow. Bochy said prior to today’s game that infielder Josh Jung will be activated for Friday’s game in Toronto, and will be in...
