The Rangers' performance in their last three games has been a mixed bag of highs and lows. On July 14th against the Astros, they managed a 4-2 victory with a commendable display from both their bullpen and starters. Their pitching staff held strong under pressure, maintaining a solid ERA of 2.0 across nine innings while striking out nine batters. However, it was not just about pitching; the team's strategic hitting led to crucial runs that ultimately secured them the win.


Conversely, on July 13th in an extra-inning thriller that extended to ten innings against the same team, they narrowly missed victory by one run. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways – particularly from their bullpen which showcased an impressive ERA of 0.0 over three innings pitched.

Their game on July 12th further highlighted areas for improvement as they succumbed to a six-run defeat against the Astros. This game underscored some defensive lapses but also showcased resilience as they fought hard till the end.


As we pivot our focus towards the upcoming clash with BAL at Globe Life Field on July 21st at 2:35 PM EDT broadcasted on BSSW, it's clear that TEX has areas they can leverage – notably their bullpen's recent performances which could be pivotal in tight situations.

The Orioles are no pushovers; however, analyzing past performances gives us insight into how TEX might approach this encounter. Emphasizing strategic hitting early in innings could disrupt BAL’s rhythm - taking lessons from previous encounters where early leads significantly impacted game outcomes.


Moreover, tightening up defensively will be crucial for TEX to minimize errors that have previously cost them dearly in close matchups. The blend of solid pitching coupled with timely hits could be TEX’s recipe for success against BAL.


Fans are eagerly anticipating this matchup as it presents another chapter in what has been an exciting season so far for both teams. With home advantage and lessons learned from recent outings, there is every reason to believe that TEX stands a good chance of coming out on top if they play to their strengths and maintain focus throughout all nine innings.
