The Rangers have that really shiny stat, the one about the starting pitchers logging at least five innings in every one of the club’s 27 games, the longest season-opening streak in franchise history.
That’s really impressive and very good.
Texas has 20 Quality Starts in those 27 games. Last year, the club’s 20th Quality Start came in Game 44.
Outstanding.
The Rangers rotation sports an ERA of 3.06. Only the White Sox have a stingier mark in the American League.
Awesome.
All this, without Yu Darvish.
Exceptional.
No rotation in baseball has generated more double play groundouts.
