Even in win, Rangers have 'level of concern' with inconsistency closing games on the mound

PHOENIX -- Another year, another early-season mystery with a Rangers closer.

On Wednesday, the Rangers overcame five no-hit innings by Arizona's Robbie Ray and end their four-game losing streak to come home from their first road trip with a .500 record with a 5-2 win over Arizona.

But they once again have questions to answer about a closer. If it's not Shawn Tolleson, it's Sam Dyson. If it's not Dyson, it's Matt Bush. And if not Bush, then Keone Kela. Now, it's Jose Leclerc. For the second straight night, the guy who was unhittable a year ago struggled badly with fastball command was unable to close out a game.
