The Texas Rangers find themselves in an interesting position. They are still in contention in the lackluster AL West and American League in general. But they are one of the many teams that are making their league and division weak.
This weekend couldn’t have gone much worse for the Rangers, who were swept by their in-state rivals. Today’s 7-3 loss at Daikin Park was a fifth straight defeat for Texas.
Texas Rangers manager Skip Schumaker knew he was right. The rest of the Rangers dugout knew he was right. The home viewing audience knew he was right. It hardly mattered.
A week ago, the Texas Rangers led the American League West by two games over the Seattle Mariners. After Sunday, they’re in serious trouble. Texas fell to Houston, 7-3, on Sunday, wrapping up a poorly-timed 1-5 road trip, which included a five-game losing streak.
Winning the MLB pitching Triple Crown entails leading the league in wins, ERA (earned runs average) and strikeouts.How many of the pitchers in the live-ball era (since 1920) that accomplished this rare feat can you name?
The Texas Rangers scored three runs but the Houston Astros scored seven runs. While Kumar Rocker was fighting for his life early in this one, the Rangers waited until the fifth inning before reaching base for the first time against some dude who had a 5.72 ERA for the Colorado Rockies last season.
The MLB Draft doesn’t get the same attention as the NFL Draft…or the NBA Draft…or even the NHL Draft. There’s the element of a stay in a farm system, the general lack of immediate impact for MLB draft picks, and the fact that it’s tougher for one MLB player to turn a franchise’s fortunes around.
The Texas Rangers’ starting pitching has failed them this weekend in Houston. Dalton Pence is unlikely to help them right now. The Rangers’ 11th round pick in 2024 out of North Carolina is closer to helping than one might think, though.
The Texas Rangers might be one of the biggest wild cards as the trade deadline is at the doorstep, as nobody knows if they plan on buying or selling. With their game against the Houston Astros coming up, the result could have some huge implications on what direction they go in, according to MLB insider Ken Rosenthal.
It all comes down to Kumar Rocker. He's the pitcher standing between the Texas Rangers and being swept by the Houston Astros. After two disastrous outings by Texas’ Top 2 stirring pitchers, it's up to the second-year pro to help Texas salvage a win on Sunday.
Hickory starter Jacob Johnson, the team’s 11th round pick in 2025, made his full season debut with two shutout innings, striking out three. Michael Trausch struck out four and walked one in two shutout innings.
After a miserable first few months of the 2026 season, Texas Rangers center fielder Evan Carter finally showed just what he can do in July. Carter posted a sub-.200 batting average in each of the first three months of the schedule, but delivered in July with a .315 average and a .912 OPS in 22 games.
