The Texas Rangers, our next opponent in an upcoming 3-game series, play in a ballpark slightly favoring hitters, Globe Life Field, and have room for 40300 fans. With their record standing at 41 wins and 33 losses, the Rangers have a winning percentage of .554. They are leading the West Division. Their number of runs scored of 362 ranks 4th in the American League, and their .260 batting average ranks 2nd. On the other side of the diamond, they have given up 376 runs (14th) with their starters compiling an ERA of 4.84, which ranks 13th. Their bullpen sports an ERA of 4.56, ranking 14th. When playing against our Royals this season, they have a record of 2 wins and 1 loss.

Here are the projected pitching matchups:
LHP D. Lynch IV (1-0, 2.84 ERA) vs RHP N. Eovaldi (3-6, 4.98 ERA)
RHP S. Lugo (2-5, 4.22 ERA) vs RHP M. Scherzer (0-0, 0.00 ERA)
RHP M. Wacha (2-8, 4.95 ERA) vs RHP T. Mahle (0-1, 10.80 ERA)

The top 5 players on their team are:
1. SS Corey Seager (Age: 30, Overall: 80, Potential: 80)
2. LF Wyatt Langford (22, 65, 80)
3. 2B Marcus Semien (33, 65, 65)
4. LF Evan Carter (21, 65, 80)
5. SP Nathan Eovaldi (34, 60, 60)

So, we arrived at Globe Life Field today, and Angel Zerpa seemed to have come down with some flu bug or something, experiencing dizziness and nausea. He’ll be DTD for about a week, but with minimal symptoms, we need to keep him ready for relief in low-leverage situations, if we get any.

The more significant move we made is putting Javier Vaz on the 10 IL while he gets the severity of his hand injury, which allows us to bring up Kyle Isbel from his recovery stint in Omaha. He is a real solid defensive outfielder and provides us with greater versatility across the outfield and infield, and has been a consistent hitter for us.

The Texas Rangers knocked off the Kansas City Royals, 4-3, in American League action at Globe Life Field. Texas pitcher and Alvin, Texas, native Nathan Eovaldi had an outstanding performance. Brock Burke notched his 3rd save in 4 chances. The 4th-place Royals have dropped 4 straight games. Josh Jung chipped in a 3-run home run for Texas in the bottom of the fifth. For the game, the third baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in. Texas manager Bruce Bochy said his team played a "no-nonsense" game.

Well, we start our road losing skid again, now streaking at 4 games. The emotional ups and downs of this game are real and frustrating. You think you’ve made some good decisions to put you in a better place than before, but it just ends up slapping you in the face.
