CHICAGO – After the final out was made, and the comeback was complete, Rangers designated hitter Kole Calhoun went up to starting pitcher Martín Pérez, put his arms on his pitcher’s shoulders and then patted him on the back.
Hey, even a team’s best player can use some relief from time to time.
Considering where the Rangers were heading into Saturday’s game against the White Sox, the result was pretty surprising. An offense that generated as much traffic on the bases as a small town of late totaled 21 base runners. A team that struggled to find an offensive spark in the month of June found many. And a pitcher who's been one of the league’s best had his worst start of the season – and yet, the Rangers still found a way to come out victorious.
