J.P. Crawford Scores Two Runs Thursday
Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford scored two runs in Thursday's 9-8 extra-inning victory over the Texas Rangers. He went 2-for-5 with a walk in the game. Crawford is in no danger of losing his spot at the top of the lineup, a role which will allow him to score plenty of runs even as he […]

Adolis Garcia Hits 27th Homer On Thursday
Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia seems to be getting his power swing back over the last few games. On Thursday, Garcia went 2-for-4 with a single and a solo home run in the sixth inning off righty Chris Flexen. Sadly, the Rangers would end up dropping this game to the Seattle Mariners 9-8 in 11 […]

Diego Castillo Melts Down Thursday
Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Diego Castillo blew a save Thursday night against the Texas Rangers.

He […]

Jason Martin Hits Game-Tying Blast
Texas Rangers outfielder Jason Martin was almost the hero in a hard fought 9-8 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Thursday. Martin hit a game-tying three-run home run off Diego Castillo in the ninth inning. Sadly, the Rangers would end up losing in 11 innings, but that was likely Martin's biggest hit of his career. […]

Chris Flexen Throws Gem Against Rangers
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Chris Flexen had another outstanding start Wednesday night, throwing seven strong innings against the Texas Rangers. He allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk with five strikeouts. He left in position for a win before a bullpen meltdown in the ninth left him with a no-decision. Flexen […]

Joe Barlow Tagged With Loss On Thursday
Texas Rangers relief pitcher Joe Barlow appears to be the favorite for save chances down the stretch. On Thursday, Barlow got through a scoreless 10th inning and appeared locked in. Sadly, that changed in the 11th when Ty France hit a go-ahead two-run home run off Barlow. He was given the loss in what was […]

Spencer Howard Lifted After Two Innings
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Spencer Howard is certainly going to be a work in progress for the organization.
