Rangers hope at-bats vs. Cy-Young winners make them more productive down the stretch

ARLINGTON - Good news for the Rangers.

They likely will not face another Cy Young winner until next weekend, at Houston against Justin Verlander.

The Rangers completed a stretch of three consecutive games against Cy Young winners on Friday with a 5-1 loss to Boston at Globe Life Park. Rick Porcello, the American League Cy Young winner in 2016, held the Rangers to two hits in six innings.

Rangers starter Bartolo Colon matched a career-high by allowing four homers, two by Rafael Devers. It was the first time since April 13, 2014 and the sixth time in 533 career starts that Colon has given up four homers.
