Good morning.
Shawn McFarland writes that the Texas Rangers won on Sunday to put themselves in a better mindset as they travel east following a difficult homestand.
Kennedi Landry writes that a win yesterday gave Jacob deGrom victories in consecutive starts for the first time with Texas.
McFarland writes that deGrom lowered his ERA to reach the top 15 in the league, which is good for third best among his rotation mates.
With the pitching doing their job, Landry notes that the team axed offensive coordinator Donnie Ecker in an effort to jump-start the bats.
