Rangers Win 10th Straight, But Have Barely Gained on The Astros

The Texas Rangers won their 10th consecutive game with a 5-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers featuring home runs from Joey Gallo and Mike Napoli. Prior to this streak, the Rangers had been struggling have lost 10 of their previous 14 games.

Yet the Rangers have only gained two games on the Houston Astros during this streak going from 8.5 to 6.5 games back of the pace. The Astros, who won MLB's best record, have won 8 of their last 10 games. But given the Rangers have won back to back AL West Division titles one ought not to count out any club managed by the vastly underrated Jeff Banister.
