If the Texas Rangers are going to compete for a postseason berth in 2018, their off-season pitching acquisitions will need to step up and impress.
Doug Fister did it in Friday's win. Matt Moore did not in Saturday's loss.
Moore, making his first start for the Rangers, struggled with his command and left after just four innings in a 9-3 loss to the Houston Astros at Globe Life Park.
Before you write Moore's comeback hopes off, however, remember a few caveats.
The left-hander was facing, arguably, the best offensive lineup in the majors.
