Sunday morning Rangers things

Good morning, folks...

Texas lost to the Rays, 8-2, in a game that looked winnable, then turned into a blowout.

Jeff Wilson’s game story talks about breaks and opportunities not going the Rangers’ way yesterday, and also suggests that Keone Kela wouldn’t have pitched yesterday if it had been a tie game, which would mean Kela may no longer be viewed as a “winning piece.”

The game story at the Rangers’ website laments the ending of a Ranger winning streak.

Gerry Fraley has his “Three Takeaways” from yesterday’s game, and talks in his game story about Keone Kela struggling.

The Rangers signed Carlos Gomez yesterday, which Jon Daniels says was a reaction to the loss of Shin-Soo Choo.

Derek Holland appears likely to get the start in Cincinnati on Tuesday.

The S-T’s notes talk about Derek Holland and Carlos Gomez.

The Rangers website notes talk about Holland, Tanner Scheppers and Adrian Beltre.
