The Texas Rangers won their eighth consecutive game Wednesday night, a 9-3 laugher over the Philadelphia Phillies at Globe Life Park.
The Rangers last won eight consecutive games in August 2013.
Wednesday’s win improved their record to 21-20, the first time this season the Rangers have been over .500. They’re still eight games behind the first-place Houston Astros, who have the best record in the majors at 29-12.
Andrew Cashner tiptoed through trouble through much of six innings but kept escaping jams. He induced four double plays in the first five innings, which neutralized the leadoff hitter reaching in five of his seven innings.
