The Rangers just couldn't catch a break in Chi-town! The White Sox took advantage of a team that simply looked exhausted and are anxiously waiting for the All-Star break!
If you weren't around a television Tuesday night, you were saved from watching a unglorious beatdown the Rangers were served courtesy of the Chicago White Sox.
I'm not lying when I say this game was ugly.
In their final interleague game of the season (hopefully will play more interleague games in the World Series), the Rangers go out in their winning style.
The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the Texas Rangers are playing, is "offense". Well, they had some of that stellar offense in this game, the problem was...the Colorado Rockies had more.
In Roy Oswalt's debut with his new team...he didn't do so bad. The longtime Astros' great, who in most recent years pitched for the Philadelphia Phillies, was signed on by the Rangers as a free agent to give their pitching staff a safety net.
Last night was another example of how you never want to undermine the Rangers' offense, as they unloaded seven runs on the Padres. I don't think the Padres have scored that many in franchise history!
After a complete three game sweep of the Houston Astros over the weekend, the Rangers look to do some more damage against more of their National League opponents this season.
It didn't take Rangers pitcher Justin Grimm (1-0, 4.50 ERA) long to get to the Major Leagues, it also didn't take long for Astros hitters to figure him out early.
Yu Darvish was a vital piece in the Rangers' 6-2 victory, striking out 11 Astros' players. For the ever so horrible Astros...well at least they came to the ballpark on time.
Tonight in Arlington, it's the fight for the great state of Texas...baseball wise. The first-place Texas Rangers and the second to last-place Houston Astros duke it out!
