The Royals travel deep in the heart of Texas this week to visit the Rangers. For Bobby Witt Jr., it is a homecoming as he plays the team his dad spent 11 years pitching for. The younger Bobby came back to Texas last year for the All-Star Game, putting on a show in the Home Run Derby. But in nine career games at Globe Life Field, he has hit just .189.
Texas has been fairly streaky this year - they had a six-game winning streak in May, then lost six games in a row the next week. The Rangers have won seven of their last eight games, although those games came against the Nationals, Twins, and White Sox.
