I hope someday the Rangers stay patient when a hyped prospect fails to make a big impression in his first foray in the big leagues. I hope the Rangers then have their patience rewarded by that prospect becoming as good as Alex Gordon has become for the Royals. You can do it, Profar. Be Alex Gordon.
Player of the Game: After the Rangers had previously gone 0-14 with runners in scoring position in this game, Ryan Rua hit a two-out RBI single in the 8th inning to avoid the indignity of a shutout.
