ARLINGTON - This statistic speaks loudly about the task that awaits the Rangers.
A total of 229 major-leaguers have pitched at least 50 innings this season. Three Rangers are among the five highest ERAs in that group: Matt Moore at 7.24, Martin Perez at 6.71 and Yovani Gallardo at 6.39.
The trio has made a combined 33 starts.
Any questions about where this club needs to devote its energies in the offseason and beyond? The rotation will require a major transfusion of talent.
On Tuesday, Gallardo made his 10th start of the season with the Rangers.
