The Texas Rangers (38–42) open a four‑game set against the Blue Jays (39–41) tonight at Rogers Centre north of the border.
Last night, the Rangers dropped their second in a row in Miami, losing 4-2 to the Marlins. Jacob deGrom allowed just two runs over six innings but it was enough to send him to his fifth loss in 11 decisions this season. Wyatt Langford collected a couple of hits in the loss including his seventh home run of the season. Texas is now 4-6 in their last ten games to fall to 2.5 games behind the Mariners in the AL West. Toronto also lost last night. The Jays fell 3-1 to the Astros and in the process dropped the series to Houston. Nathan Lukes went yard in the first inning but that was the extent of the Jays’ offense. Trey Yesavage was elite allowing just two hits and one earned run over 5.2 innings…but it was not enough as Toronto lost for the third time in their last four games. The Blue Jays now trail the Yankees by 9.5 games in the AL East.
Tonight’s pitching matchup features MacKenzie Gore for Texas and Kevin Gausman for Toronto. Gore enters at 4–6 with a 4.07 ERA, having thrown 84.0 innings with 92 strikeouts. Control has been an issue of late for him, though, as he is allowing one walk every two innings over the past four starts (10BB over 22.2 IP). Gausman counters with a 4–5 record and 4.04 ERA, supported by 89 strikeouts in 89.0 innings and a strong 1.13 WHIP. His last start, however, was a disaster. Gausman allowed seven runs in just two innings against the Cubs last Friday.
At the plate, Texas has leaned on Josh Jung, who leads the team with a .296 average, and Jake Burger, who has produced 13 home runs and 46 RBI. Toronto’s hottest bats include Ernie Clement, hitting .292, and Kazuma Okamoto, who leads the club with 17 home runs and 49 RBI.
