10 games over .500 for the first time since May 31, 2005, when the Rangers won their 9th game in a row against the Tigers. They promptly lost 8 of 10 afterwards.
How long ago was that? The starting outfield for the Rangers was Kevin Mench, Andres Torres, and Richard Hidalgo, with Chad Allen as the DH, and Nick Regilio pitched a scoreless inning in relief.
