Rangers’ Tough Loss, Wild Card Race Heats Up | Texas Rangers News

The Texas Rangers’ slim playoff hopes took a hit after a crushing 9-2 loss to the worst team in their division, the Oakland Athletics — who rallied with three homers, including one from a former Ranger. After a promising two-run lead, Texas’ offense stalled, and now they face a brutal stretch against the AL East-leading Rays. With Houston extending its lead over Texas to two games and the wild card race tightening, the Rangers are locked in a tense battle for that final spot — tied with Baltimore and Toronto, just 1.5 games behind Cleveland. A crucial series against the Blue Jays looms, and every game could decide their postseason fate. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
