HOT RIGHT NOW

Sampson's strength

No splitting (or cutting) hairs here, Adrian Sampson has been a savior for the pitching staff. He's won five consecutive starts, during which he's compiled a 1.99 ERA. If he wins his next start to run the streak to six, there will be only six longer streaks in Rangers history of a pitcher winning consecutive outings. Sampson has simply not made mistakes. He's allowed only three walks and two homers in the 31.2 innings that comprise the streak.
