Rangers News
The Texas Rangers wrapped up a disastrous West Coast road trip with a 5-2 loss to the Athletics, completing a series where they only managed to score two runs in the finale. Jake Burger provided some spark with a solo home run, but it wasn't nearly enough as the team produced just seven hits in total. With a dismal 2-5 record over the last week and a painful run differential of -16, the Rangers' struggles are becoming hard to ignore. Adding insult to injury, Marco Gonzales was designated for assignment, leaving the pitching staff even thinner as they scramble to fill gaps in the rotation. With key players like Jacob deGrom out and the team’s postseason hopes hanging by a thread, it's clear the Rangers need a dramatic turnaround to salvage the remaining weeks of the season.
