CLEVELAND - Losing a lead they had just taken - and a reliever in the process - the Rangers on Monday finished April with more losses than ever before by the end of the season's first month.
You know what that means: What goes on before the game these days might be more important than what happens during them. Before games, it's about preparing for the future. During games, it's mostly about enduring the ugly present, though there are moments when the two come together in a glimpse of beauty.
Such was the case before and during a 7-5 loss to Cleveland.
