Good morning, folks...
The Texas Rangers beat the Seattle Mariners, 4-2, yesterday, completing a sweep in Seattle, getting Texas back to .500, and keeping the team on the fringes of the playoff hunt.
Carlos Gomez was back in the lineup yesterday, but still may not play every day going forward because of his bad ankle.
Cole Hamels going deep was important because neither Jake Diekman nor Alex Claudio were available yesterday.
Texas is hoping for a strong finish from a pen that has been up and down all season.
