ARLINGTON - A Rangers’ offense that had been on life support the last few games found a pulse Friday. In a heartbeat.
After taking 13 innings to scratch across one run Thursday in a walk-off win, the Rangers didn’t waste any time against the Royals a day later.
Catcher Robinson Chirinos and third baseman Joey Gallo homered twice in their first two plate appearances to pace a 6-2 win.
The Rangers won for the first time all season with Cole Hamels starting. Hamels looked the part of an ace, giving the Rangers’ taxed bullpen most of the night off a day after six relievers combined to pitch seven innings.
