Texas Rangers

Outfielder Adolis Garcia also contributed with a double and two RBIs. Starter Dane Dunning put in a solid performance, going five innings and allowing one earned run. Despite some inconsistency in the pitching staff, the Rangers have managed to maintain a 80-82 record this season. Unfortunately, they will be without third baseman Josh Jung for several months due to a wrist injury. Manager Bruce Bochy praised Dunning's resilient effort in the recent game. The team is ranked 10th in offense, 11th in defense, and has a power ranking of 7.
