If you listen really hard you can still hear fans chanting “The Solution.”Texas Rangers third baseman Ezequiel Duran drove in the winning run in the ninth inning of Tuesday’s 5-4 win over the San Francisco Giants, their first win since the MLB trade deadline on Monday. It was the capper for a huge night for him, as he also had a two RBI double earlier in the game to give Texas a 4-2 lead. The win was huge for Texas (56-58) as it allowed them to keep pace with the Houston Astros in the AL West race. The Rangers remain 2.5 games back. Rangers left-handed pitcher Cody Bradford is expected to start the game. He has not pitched in a game since Sept. 25, 2024, due to elbow surgery. He was on the 60-day injured list but the Rangers had an open spot. To make room on the 26-man roster, Texas moved starter MacKenzie Gore to the paternity list.Texas is facing Giants left-hander Carson Whisenhunt, who has never faced the Rangers in his career and faced just one Rangers batter lifetime. After Wednesday’s game, Texas gets a much-needed day off on Thursday before starting a three-game home series with the Baltimore Orioles on Friday.

He is 0-for-3 lifetime against him and that came while he was with the New York Mets. So at least Nimmo has seen his stuff. Justin Foscue: With a left-hander on the mound, that rules out Joc Pederson as the DH and puts Foscue as his replacement as the right-handed hitting infielder has been raking against left-handed pitching this season. It’s down a bit from a month ago but it’s still where the Rangers want it at .284/.361/.568 Cameron Cauley: It’s a day game after a night game and it’s a left-handed starter so Cauley is in the lineup. He’s batting just .185 against left-handed pitching. It's a chance for him to show he can hit lefties better. Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
