Rangers and Athletics Pitchers Face Mysterious Slumps—Will They Find the Secret to Success?

Rangers and Athletics Pitchers Face Mysterious Slumps—Will They Find the Secret to Success?

The Rangers are AL West hopefuls. I wouldn’t necessarily call them contenders because aside from trading for MacKenzie Gore, I don’t think they’ve done all that much this offseason. The team needs to find some hitting if they want to compete this year. Perhaps they expected a bounce-back year or something, but their best power hitter (Adolis Garcia) walked in the offseason. So, I just am confused about what this team is trying to do. I guess they wanted to build around their arms, but one of them, today’s starter, Nathan Eovaldi, has looked rough out of the gates. Eovaldi is making his fourth start and hoping to build on a successful six innings against the Mariners in his last outing. His first two starts saw him go 8.2 innings and allow 11 earned runs. He has allowed 22 hits, 5 walks, and four homers which is also a concern. Athletics hitters have also done really well against him hitting .300 against him in 50 at-bats.
