## Resource

The Texas Rangers are desperate for a bounce-back after a crushing 12-2 loss to the Twins, where offense stalled and pitching faltered so badly that catcher Kyle Higashioka had to pitch. Manager Skip Schumaker admits he can only do so much to rally his troops, especially after a much-needed day off. Facing right-hander Joe Ryan, the lineup leans heavily on left-handed bats, with Ezequiel Duran starting at shortstop and Josh Smith back at second. Historically shaky against Ryan, the Rangers still cling to playoff hopes — two games behind in the AL West and just half a game out of a wild card spot. After a brief five-game win streak, they’ve gone 5-7 in their last 12, and today’s series finale could be the spark that reignites their push for the postseason.
