HOUSTON -- Rangers manager Jeff Banister had rave reviews for reliever Tanner Scheppers' work on Sunday against the Angels.
"Tanner Scheppers was electric," Banister said. "His fastball showed up with great movement and his secondary stuff he was able to land well."
Scheppers retired three straight hitters, including one by strikeout, in the Rangers' 3-2 loss to the Angels. He has pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings over three outings since being activated off the disabled list after missing the first five months of the season while recovering from left knee surgery. He also had eight appearances in the Minors, allowing just one run, before being activated.
