It was not a good day for the Texas Rangers. It might have actually been the worst day of the season one where the Rangers are now 23 games under .500 at 35-58.
After being blanked by a score of 5-0 in the first game of Sunday s doubleheader with the Toronto Blue Jays, the Rangers were pummeled in a 10-0 rout that was essentially over with a six-run first inning by Toronto. [It s] frustrating, said Rangers manager Chris Woodward. I expect a lot more out of our ballclub. I honestly do.
Rangers starter Mike Foltynewicz was tagged with all 10 of Toronto s runs, giving up four home runs in the process. Foltynewicz already led all of Major League Baseball in home runs allowed heading into Sunday s action. Now his 28 home runs are seven more than the player with the next-highest total which happens to be teammate Jordan Lyles.
