Thoughts on a 4-1 Rangers loss
Photo by Jim McIsaac/ Yankees 4, Rangers 1 Yankees 4, Rangers 1 What a bleah game. The most memorable part was probably Lance Lynn and Chris Woodward complaining about the home plate umpire taking balls out of play. 3 runs in 5 innings for Lynn tonight, along with 7 Ks. He needed 108 pitches to get through 5 IP, which is a lot, and Lynn has been...not running out of gas, really, but not performing up to the level he had been for much of the season. Though he had been performing at close to a CYA level for much of the summer, so not sustaining that is understandable. Three relievers...

68-73 - Rangers go out with a whimper in 4-1 series finale loss to Yankees
Photo by Adam Hunger/ Scoring runs continues to be a major issue for Rangers Mark this one down as another example of the mounting evidence that it’s the hitting — not the pitching — that could be holding the Rangers back now and in the future. Starter Lance Lynn wasn’t the sharpest he’s been this season but he still allowed just three runs in his five innings of work. The Yankees are second in baseball this season with 812 runs scored this year. Lynn wasn’t the problem tonight. After a month of August that saw Texas produce one of their worst hitting months that they’ve...

NYY vs. TEX: Chad Green vs. Lance Lynn
Photo by Adam Hunger/ The Yankees go for a series win in the finale against the Rangers. A good way to bounce back from getting shut out is to put up 10 runs and nearly shut out the opponent in the very next game. After putting up zero runs for the first time in over a season, the Yankees dropped a game without scoring in the series opener on Monday. In response, they slugged five home runs, as James Paxton pitched a one-hitter, not allowing a hit until the fifth inning. That win evened things up in the series against the Rangers, leading to today’s rubber game in the Bronx. One of the...

68-72 - Rangers served revenge in 10-1 blowout loss to Yankees
Photo by Adam Hunger/ The Rangers, uh, did not hold the Yankees scoreless tonight Everything that was fun about yesterday’s 7-0 win for Texas was practically painfully inverted in tonight’s loss to the Yankees. I think maybe the Rangers made ‘em mad. Player of the Game: Hey, if nothing else, Scott Heineman hit his first career home run in the ninth and prevented the Rangers from getting shut out! Up Next: RHP Lance Lynn makes the start for the Rangers against a yet to be determined starter for the Yankees. Wednesday’s finale from Yankee Stadium is scheduled for 5:45 pm CT.

65-70 - Calhoun clobbers one but the Rangers look sloppy in 5-3 loss
Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports A couple of late runs doomed the Rangers to an ignominious loss to the Mariners The Texas Rangers sure looked like a team coming back home from a two day pitstop on the west coast after a long road trip and then an immediate game tonight with no rest as they put a couple of unearned runs on Lance Lynn’s ledger after commiting a couple of costly errors. Still, the Rangers had a chance to win this one anyway, as it went into the final frame tied 3-3, but Jose Leclerc allowed a couple of Mariners to cross the plate in the top of the ninth and Texas couldn’t...
