Rangers News
The Texas Rangers dropped their 20th game of the season with a disappointing 9-2 loss to the New York Yankees, a fate that feels all too familiar as they struggle to find their footing. MacKenzie Gore, who has yet to complete six innings in most of his starts this season, encountered control issues that unraveled in the sixth inning, highlighting the team's pitching woes. Despite the support for manager Skip Schumaker from the players, the Rangers are showing signs of fragility, especially after experimenting with a no-outfielder defense in a desperate attempt to shake things up. Joc Pederson, making his first outfield start in three years, adds to the uncertainty surrounding the lineup. With a 17-20 record and a lukewarm vibe, the Rangers need to find answers quickly as they head into a challenging stretch.
