Status of SS Corey Seager in doubt as Rangers meet Giants

All eyes will be on the status of reigning World Series MVP Corey Seager when the Texas Rangers open a three-game series against the San Francisco Giants on Friday night in Arlington, Texas. Seager extended his career-best on-base streak to 28 games with a second-inning single off left-hander Joey Wentz in Wednesday afternoon’s 9-1 victory over visiting Detroit. Seager, however, grabbed the back of his left hamstring as he was getting ready to round first

Jack Flaherty, Tigers aim to keep rolling vs. Rangers

The win-loss record doesn’t reflect how dominant Jack Flaherty has been this season for the Detroit Tigers, who continue their three-game series against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday in Arlington, Texas. Detroit is seeking its third straight win after beating Texas 2-1 on Monday. Catcher Jake Rogers hit a pair of solo home runs for the Tigers, who improved to 30-30. “He was our offense,” Detroit manager A.J. Hinch said of Rogers. “The offense was

Rangers starting to click with Tigers up next

May wasn’t especially kind to the Texas Rangers and right fielder Adolis Garcia. There are encouraging signs that June might be a different story, though. After recording consecutive shutouts for the first time since 2016, Texas begins a three-game series against the Detroit Tigers in Arlington, Texas, on Monday. The Tigers earned a split of their four-game series against the Boston Red Sox with an 8-4 victory in 10 innings on Sunday. The Rangers have

Rangers hope rout of Marlins a sign of better days ahead

Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy hopes a strong start to the month of June will help his team rediscover its identity. After struggling over the last three weeks of May, Texas saw its offense come to life on Saturday, and it will search for a repeat performance on Sunday afternoon in the rubber match of a three-game series with the host Miami Marlins. The Rangers averaged just 2.9 runs in the 18 games leading up

Rangers look to ignite spark vs. suddenly hot Marlins

The Texas Rangers displayed signs of breaking out of their May slumber with a modest three-game winning streak. But their optimistic outlook took a blow Friday in the opener of a three-game series with the host Miami Marlins as the defending World Series champions continue to underachieve. The Rangers will look to get off the mat on Saturday afternoon when they face the suddenly hot Marlins in the middle game of the set. Texas has

Corey Seager and Rangers, playing like champs, visit improving Marlins

The Texas Rangers, coming off the first World Series title in franchise history, may be poised to shake their championship hangover. Texas, set to visit the Miami Marlins on Friday to start a three-game series, is finally getting hot. The Rangers have followed a season-worst six-game losing streak by winning three straight contests. Shortstop Corey Seager has keyed the Texas revival. After finishing April with just two homers and eight RBIs, he has caught fire

Corey Seager, Rangers look for another win vs. Diamondbacks

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo won’t have much time to try to devise a new strategy for dealing with Texas Rangers slugger Corey Seager. Seager, who punished the Diamondbacks en route to being named the World Series MVP last fall, struck again Tuesday night with a three-run homer in the first meeting between the teams since the Rangers’ title clincher in November. The two-game series concludes Wednesday with a matinee in Arlington, Texas. With the

World Series MVP Corey Seager on tear as Rangers, D-Backs begin rematch

Corey Seager has been flexing his muscles even though the Texas Rangers have been getting sand kicked in their faces for much of the last 2 1/2 weeks. Fresh off belting a pair of homers, Seager looks to continue his power display on Tuesday when the Texas Rangers play a rematch of last season’s World Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Arlington, Texas. Seager, who was named the World Series MVP for the second time

Streaking Twins, slumping Rangers heading in opposite directions

The Minnesota Twins haven’t lost since holding a closed-door meeting last week. They’ll try to make it five wins in a row when they host the Texas Rangers in the finale of their three-game series on Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis. After the Twins lost their seventh straight game last Monday, 12-3 at the Washington Nationals, the players called a closed-door meeting in an effort to get to the bottom of their failures. Minnesota went out

Alex Kirilloff, Twins look to top Rangers again

Minnesota Twins first baseman Alex Kirilloff grew tired of the questions. Why wasn’t he hitting as well as he could? Should he go down to the minors to fine-tune his swing? Could he figure it out at the major league level? Kirilloff took out his frustration, if only for a day, with a go-ahead homer in Friday’s series opener in Minneapolis. His solo blast lifted the Twins to a 3-2 win over the Texas Rangers.
