Sunday morning Rangers things

Good morning, folks...

The Texas Rangers fell to the Tampa Bay Rays yesterday by a score of 3-0.

Sam Blum writes that despite the loss, Kolby Allard showed why he’s getting a chance in the rotation.

Yesterday’s loss notwithstanding, the Rangers have played much better at home than on the road this year.

Chris Woodward addressed complaints from the previous few days about the Rangers’ aggressive slides.

David Laurila has his Sunday notes column up at Fangraphs, and leads off with Round Rock pitcher Jharel Cotton.
