The Texas Rangers scored nine runs while the Toronto Blue Jays scored two runs.
That’s a sweep and not just one of those puny three-game cleanings, either. The Rangers took a four-game set from the team directly ahead of them in the American League standings at the start of this series to move 2 1⁄2 games up on Canada’s favorite baseball team.
It’s frankly a stunning development for a team that was facing a historic collapse over the three or so weeks preceding this series. Now, however, the Rangers have won six consecutive games and hold the AL’s second wild card spot by a full game over Seattle.
