The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Detroit Tigers scored four runs.
By the time the Rangers complete this week with a weekend series in Atlanta — with 17 games in 17 days — they’ll have played an entire NFL team’s season worth of games consecutively with 139 more awaiting them. The MLB season is relentless, grueling, and rife with challenges that must be solved on the fly.
Right now, the Rangers aren’t pitching spectacularly, and especially not efficiently, which has led to big innings placed on a worn and thin bullpen.
