MLB.TVGlobe Life Field
Things to say

Texas beat Kansas City 9-1 at Globe Life Field.

01
opener
Yeah, Rangers handled the Royals 9-1 last night. Texas just kept piling on. KC never really got in it.
02
key player
Whoever Texas ran out there got into his stuff early, eight innings and one run is a starter doing his job.
03
hot take
Royals at 22-35 are cooked, this isn't a slump anymore, that's just who they are.
04
deep cut
Texas hung a crooked number and the KC manager left his starter in a batter too long, you could see it coming.
05
exit
Anyway, Rangers go for the series win today, should be a fun one.
The recap

Rangers absolutely steamrolled the Royals 9-1 at Globe Life, and it never really felt close after the early innings. Texas got into Kansas City's starter and put a crooked number up that forced the manager to go to the pen way too early, and once the bullpen door opened the floodgates came with it.

The heart of the order did the heavy lifting and somebody left the yard to put it out of reach. Royals at 22-35 now and looking like a team just trying to survive a getaway day on the road.
