ARLINGTON - When the Rangers changed hitting coaches in the off-season, manager Jeff Banister had moments like the sixth inning on Thursday night in mind.

The Rangers had four consecutive at-bats with a runner at third and fewer than two outs. They converted each chance, leading to five runs and a 6-3 comeback victory against Baltimore at Globe Life Park.
