## Resource

Rangers’ starting pitching is in freefall, with Jack Leiter repeatedly crumbling in the fifth inning—costing games and overloading the bullpen. His ERA spikes mid-game, forcing managers to scramble, while his command issues and late-inning panic are turning into a season-long crisis. With depth thin and injuries lingering, Leiter knows he’s got to fix it fast—or watch his team keep falling apart. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
