Nathaniel Lowe Doubles In Loss

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe has been a fine option in the middle of the order this season. Unfortunately, the Rangers don't have many reliable bats so Lowe doesn't get many chances to drive in runs. Despite that, he continues to do his part and hit for a reliable batting average. On Sunday, Lowe […]

Isiah Kiner-Falefa Steals Two Bases Sunday

Texas Rangers infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa has quietly put together a respectable campaign in 2021. He has been a fine option for this team near the top of the order all season long. On Sunday, he went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and an RBI in the 7-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox. The fact […]

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Jordan Romano pitched a clean ninth inning on Sunday to close out his team's 5-3 victory against the Twins in the series finale.
