'He's got a lot of weapons to go to': Mike Minor is pitching like a No. 1 starter for Rangers

ARLINGTON -- A word of advice: It's probably best not to tell Mike Minor he's ill-equipped to accomplish something.

A high school teacher tried it once.

"He told me to play all the sports I can now, because I wasn't going to play anymore after high school," Minor said Tuesday after authoring the Rangers' first home complete game shutout since 2015 with a 5-0 win over Los Angeles. "I feel like I've accomplished a lot, but I've always been told that I can't."

The latest "you can't," came when the Rangers named him their No. 1 starter for the season.
