Instant replay: Rangers nearing a dismal strikeout record after 5-3 loss to Indians

Instant replay and observations from the Rangers’ 5-3 loss to Cleveland Wednesday night at Progressive Field in Cleveland:

What you need to know: Once again, the Rangers become home run dependent and without a homer, they seem to struggle to score. The first two runs Texas scored against Cleveland’s Trevor Bauer and the Indians’ bullpen came on Robinson Chirinos’ fifth-inning homer and Elvis Andrus' shot in the ninth. Rougned Odor's ninth-inning RBI single broke the cycle. The Rangers have scored 14 runs in the first three games of the series; 12 of the last 13 via homers.
