The Texas Rangers improved to 2-2 on their 10-game road trip on Monday, can secure a split with the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday afternoon
The Texas Rangers (9-8) got back over the .500 mark with a victory on Monday night at Comerica Park. On Tuesday, the Rangers continue their four-game series with the Detroit Tigers (9-7) with the first of three straight matinees. Detroit has lost three of its last four after they were shut out for the second time this season on Monday. Michael Lorenzen made his injury-delayed debut for Texas, working around five walks to combine with three relievers on a five-hit shutout. A neck strain delayed Lorenzen’s first start with his new club. He signed as a free agent in March after splitting last season between the Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies.
