Texas Coming Undone
The Texas Rangers just aren't living up to expectations this season as they've managed to win a mere one game in their last seven tries against the likes of Toronto, St. Louis and now Boston.
The Red Sox, meanwhile, are still hanging in there and playing well above early expectations. They've won half of their last ten games overall.
Though it's a rather small sampling of just 25 at bats, the Texas Rangers career statistics vs. Tanner Houck are just .120. There are nine Rangers who have faced him and none of them have more than one hit off of Houck.
He has lasted six-plus innings in 16 of his 21 appearances and has held all but three of his opponents to three or fewer runs.
Houck posted a quality start in Sunday night’s loss to the Yankees, surrendering four runs (three earned) on five hits over his six innings of work. Despite his solid pitching, Houck has not had a win in his last two starts and only one win in his last seven.
Cody Bradford is 3-0 with a 3.38 ERA to start for Texas.
Royals Yet to Cool Down
KC has won five straight and six of their last eight overall. They'll be facing a Detroit team that may have thrown in the towel for the season.
