ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers and their quartet of All-Star starters are still on track to win their most games ever, even after reaching the midpoint of their first season for manager Bruce Bochy with a loss. and Andy Ibañez had the go-ahead RBI single for the Detroit Tigers, who won 8-5 on Thursday for a split in the four-game series. Even after losing five of their last nine games, the AL West-leading Rangers are on pace for a 98-win season.
“I think you have to be pretty excited when you look at the first half. Granted, yeah, we haven’t quite played as well, clicked offensively as consistent as we have been, but we’re in a good place,” said Bochy, who won three World Series titles with San Francisco. “I like where we're at.
“We have a ton of guys having great years, pitchers throwing the ball well. The coaching staff works extremely hard,” Semien said. “There’s a lot of good things going on right now. So, it makes it fun to come to the ballpark every single day.”Ibañez, who began his career with the Texas the past two seasons, as all four batters that faced reliever Joe Barlow to start the seventh inning reached base.
After yet another Tigers pitcher got hurt, Torkelson put them up 3-2 with his one-out solo shot in the fifth that chased Texas rookie starter Cody Bradford, who had a career-high eight strikeouts and walked three. Torkelson's three-run shot in the eighth, which made it 8-3, was his 11th homer of the season. It was his first career multihomer game.Detroit starter Reese Olson exited in the second inning after a comebacker off his left knee.
Olson was struck by a sharp one-hopper off the bat of Josh Smith, with the ball then ricocheting into foul territory. The right-hander immediately dropped to the ground and grabbed his left leg, though he was able to get up and gingerly walk to the dugout. The team said X-rays were negative and he had a bruised knee.The Rangers are the first team with at least four elected All-Star starters since 2016, when the Chicago Cubs had five NL starters and the Boston Red Sox had four AL starters.
