The Rangers are now 7th in the American League standings, a game back of Baltimore for sixth, and a game back of the Angels in the loss column in the AL West while a game and a half out of a playoff spot as the AL's second Wild Card team.
Oh yeah, the Astros also lost tonight (with Neftali Feliz getting a save for the Tigers against Houston in the 11th inning) meaning the Rangers are four games back of Houston in the AL West. Remember back in March when it was just assumed that the Nationals would win the World Series? If tonight's scores hold in the NL, the Rangers will be closer to first place in the AL West (4 GB) than the Nationals are in the NL East (4.5 GB).
