Rangers streaks, injuries, and Profar spark Texas swing
Texas endured a 13 inning loss amid a postponed home game from storm damage while Jurickson Profar became the youngest starter with a leadoff homer since 1958. Yu Darvish earned no win in two solid starts as the Rangers faced rain delays and a rough May schedule. The slate included a Memorial Day doubleheader loss to Arizona and a sweeping road trip, then a dramatic 1-0 lead vanquished by the bullpen and a Profar seventh inning homer. The Dodgers head to Toronto next after a long Texas homestand and a busy stretch.
