ARLINGTON, Texas — Just as you would expect for a team that spent $300 million over the winter redoing the starting rotation: The lineup is apparently unstoppable.
For the second straight game, the Rangers unveiled a shiny new pitcher to the public. And for the second straight game, it was the offense that absolutely stole the show and throttled the defending National League champions.
In Saturday’s 16-3 win over Philadelphia, the offense once again reminded folks not to sleep on them. Marcus Semien led off the game with a homer, only eight weeks earlier than he hit his first one as a Ranger a year ago. Mitch Garver threatened Iowa’s Caitlin Clark for most 3-pointers in town this weekend, blasting a pair of three-run homers once shade spread across top-down Globe Life Field making it easier to see.
