Adolis Garcia and Wyatt Langford clubbed home runs while Jack Leiter pitched effectively into the sixth inning as the visiting Texas Rangers banged out a 7-3 victory over the suddenly reeling Houston Astros on Friday in the opener of a three-game series.

Runs = wins, who knew?
The Texas Rangers scored seven runs while the Houston Astros scored three runs.
It’s been a long time coming and a long wait for the Rangers to get on a heater at the dish like the one they find themselves on right now. The issues with Texas this season have been well documented. The no show from the bats have kept the Rangers hovering just below .500 with the All-Star break coming next week.
However, after averaging nearly ten runs...

The Rangers have swapped out long relievers
The Texas Rangers have recalled pitcher Caleb Boushley from AAA Round Rock. To make room for him on the active roster, the Rangers have optioned pitcher Dane Dunning to AAA Round Rock.
The Rangers used just two relievers in their win last night against the Angels, and both were the long men, so the higher leverage pitchers are all fresh and rested for the series this weekend in Houston. ...

Rangers 11, Angels 4
Lots of runs, once again. What is this sorcery? Patrick Corbin once again did what Patrick Corbin was signed to do, which is give the Rangers innings and not be blown up. After going five innings against the Angels, Corbin has gone at least five innings in thirteen straight starts. He’s allowed three runs or less in 15 of his 17 starts. And Bruce Bochy got to finish out the game with...Kirby Lee-Imagn Images
The bats enjoyed their time at the Big A
The Texas Rangers scored eleven runs while the Anaheim Angels scored four runs.
I am just about tapped out on west coast games after a full week of ‘em. Luckily, the hitters on the Rangers seem to have had a good time. Though Texas only finished 3-4 on the first two legs of this road trip, the bats got hot in Orange County.
The Rangers scored a total of 37 runs in this four-game series, by far the most in any one set this...

Texas Rangers lineup for July 10, 2025 against the Anaheim Angels: starting pitchers are Jack Kochanowicz for the Angels and Patrick Corbin for the Rangers.
The Rangers will look to try to score a bunch of runs and not allow a bunch of runs today. Alejandro Osuna is at DH, so Bruce Bochy is mixing things up a bit.

Baltimore has acquired a draft pick for reliever Bryan Baker
The Baltimore Orioles have traded reliever Bryan Baker to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for the Rays’ competitive balance draft pick, #37 overall.
This is a little early for trade deadline moves to be getting made, although the Orioles, at 40-50, have been massively disappointing this year. The Rays, meanwhile, are currently holding onto the second Wild Card spot, but have had...

Wouldn’t it be funny if the Rangers, in the second half, started scoring a bunch of runs, but their pitching started being bad? Yeah, no, you’re right, that wouldn’t be funny. Kumar Rocker continues to be a work in progress. There’s an element of 2024 Jack Leiter with Rocker right now, where you can see the potential and the possibilities, but too often he can’t get it together or keep it together long enough...Photo by Michael Putland/Getty Images

Welcome back, 2002 Rangers
The Texas Rangers scored eight runs but the Anaheim Angels scored eleven runs.
The all hit, no pitch Rangers that we’ve known and begrudgingly loved our whole lives showed up tonight. In a season filled with frustrating losses, at least we were pumped full of nostalgia in this latest let down.
The Rangers scoring eight runs would have won like 95% of games this season. Not this one, though. Leads of 1-0, 5-4, and 8-6 weren’t good...
