Not a lot of good happened for the Texas Rangers on their just completed nine-game road trip, as their 3-6 record indicates.
They were nearly swept at Houston, where they had to endure the Woo; could have been swept at Seattle, were it not for six rare scoreless innings by the bullpen in the opener; and managed a split with San Diego, which started Jered Weaver and his 83 mph fastball.
Cole Hamels was lost early on, too.
The best thing about the road trip is that it’s over. San Diego, Oakland and Philadelphia await. Anything less than five wins will rate as a disappointment, even for this Rangers team.
