The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Anaheim Angels scored zero runs.
The Rangers are getting close. In fact, if in moments the Houston Astros finish off a win over the Seattle Mariners, Texas is all but assured a spot in the playoffs this October. But they want more.
With tonight’s series clinching victory, the Rangers remain 2 1⁄2 games up on the Astros in the AL West where they can claim the division, the AL’s second seed, and a bye. Any combination of two wins or two Houston losses in the season’s final four games gets it done.
