For a last-place baseball team, Sunday's 3-0 win over the Tigers sure seemed important to the Rangers.
In many ways it really was. Perhaps not because of the win, or for those larger team-goal reasons, but for the individual accomplishments of Shin-Soo Choo, which have taken on more of a team achievement vibe as his on-base streak continues.
Choo, if you haven't heard by now, reached on an infield single in his final at-bat with two outs in the ninth on Sunday to stretch his on-base streak to 47 games. That breaks a tie with Julio Franco for the single-season Rangers' record.
