The Texas Rangers have had one of MLB's best pitching staffs this season, including a number of players that are playing themselves into award conversations. ML

On Tuesday, the subject was Chris Martin, who lasted one pitch in the ninth inning of a 4-1 game against Colorado, then walked off the mound and seemed to say “it popped,” on his way back to the dugout with athletic trainer Matt Lucero. It came a day after Luke Jackson was hit by a line drive on the hand and wrist on the first pitch he threw.

The Rangers won a closely contested match in the first game of the series 2-1. The Rockies took a one-run lead in the second inning, but gave up two runs in the sixth, which cost them the game. While the Rockies lost the game, they covered the massive +3.5 runline.

The Texas Rangers are attempting to spark a fire amidst a strange season that has them out of first place in the American League West.

Though the Tigers had built up more credibility by snagging five wins in a row, they had a tough pill to swallow in the second game of the series. They got away with a 2-1 win thanks to a dominant pitching performance from Tarik Skubal. Detroit did not get that type of outing from any of its pitching on Saturday night.

Whether it’s a smartphone, a computer or even a Major League Baseball player, sometimes a reset is necessary. For Rangers first baseman Jake Burger, that meant getting recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday after spending 10 days clearing his cache in the Minors.
