The three-game winning streak the Texas Rangers carried into their game Thursday night, the opener of a four-game series against the Chicago White Sox, wasn’t even close to their longest of the season.
The Rangers rattled off 10 straight victories in May during the softest stretch of the schedule this season. The Rangers did what they should have done, and they finished the stretch three games over .500.
But this mini-streak, which included wins in 6 of 7 games and 9 of 13, has been their best of the season. Sure, the schedule has taken a favorable turn this week, but the players see it and the manager sees it.
