ARLINGTON - Will Rangers slugger Joey Gallo make contact against Kansas City starter Ian Kennedy on Saturday?
If Gallo does, it will be a first.
Gallo has struck out in all seven career at-bats against Kennedy. The longest such streak in Rangers history is believed to be Pete Incaviglia vs. Roger Clemens. Incaviglia struck out in all nine at-bats against Clemens while with the Rangers.
The longest whiff streak among current players is Anthony Gose vs. Max Scherzer. Gose has struck out in all eight at-bats against Scherzer. Gose is in the Rangers’ minor-league system, trying to re-invent himself as a pitcher.
