ARLINGTON -- A bleak April to forget is over for the Rangers. They can only hope May is better. Offensively it can't get much worse.
The Rangers managed just five hits on Wednesday night, losing to Mariners ace Felix Hernandez for the first time in Arlington since 2010. Hernandez and two relievers made it a three-game sweep for the Mariners with a 5-2 victory.
The Rangers finished April with a team batting average of .212 with a .322 slugging percentage, both their lowest since 1972. They have hit 13 home runs and nobody has more than two.
