Rangers Swept by Royals in 2 Game Series

The Rangers were swept for the first time this series against the Kansas City Royals in the two game series. On Monday, the Rangers lost it close 3 to 1 and had a descent start by Scott Feldman who gave up no earned runs in 4.2 innings.  Kinsler was not in this game. On Tuesday Colby Lewis took the mound for his first start since the weird outing he had last time giving up a career high five home runs, and having a career high 12 strikeouts. The Royals would win this game 7 to 4. Oddly though Lewis only gave up 2 earned runs. The couple of changes in the lineup these past two games have made the defense get errors in two straight games. I thought though we had to rest a couple of players to get them rested from the 10 straight road games, and the Angels series. Tonight though we should see the regular starting lineup for the Rangers with them playing the Oakland Athletics tonight. Oakland is quietly now only four games behind tonight. Yu Darvish will start tonight for the Rangers as they play the A's for the first time this season. The game time is scheduled for 7:05 Texas time!
