For some reason, after midnight following a game that went 11 innings and was played in 4 hours seven minutes, Ricky Nelson is on my mind.
As such, a few tidbits before getting to the meat of things:
The Rangers have hit 32 homers to 11 by their opponents in the past 14 games. Their record? 6-8.
Rangers relievers have allowed 13 of 17 runners to score in the past nine games. Their record? 3-6.
Mike Napoli has 17 home runs this season. His average? .193, and he has company along those lines.
