Fresh off a demoralizing road trip that seemed to finally tamp down the dirt upon their grave, Texas procured a sweep of the team that came to Arlington directly ahead of them in the Wild Card standings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Rangers were large and in charge in today\u2019s win with big men Rowdy Tellez and Joc Pederson going deep, while a four-run outburst in the fourth inning was all that Texas needed to finish off the sweep of the Guardians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Overall the Rangers didn\u2019t even allow a run in this series after Cleveland scored a couple in the eighth inning on Friday night, spanning 19 innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Since unveiling the statue of the GOAT Adrian Beltre, the Rangers are undefeated and now they\u2019re back at .500.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Player of the Game: In his fifth try, Merrill Kelly is finally a winner as a member of the Texas Rangers. The righty tossed seven scoreless innings and allowed just four hits and two walks to the Guardians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Kelly had been a hard luck loser or the recipient of a couple of unfortunate no decisions in his brief tenure with Texas but today he took matters mostly into his own hands with his spotless effort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Up Next: The Rangers welcome the Angels to Arlington for their final tussle of the 2025 season. RHP Jacob deGrom is expected back on the mound for Texas opposite RHP Jose Soriano for Anaheim.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Monday evening first pitch from The Shed is set for 7:05 pm CT and will be aired on the Rangers Sports Network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Cleveland Guardians scored zero runs.
