UPCOMING PROBABLES, TIMES & BROADCASTS PRODUCTIVE START FOR ROOKIE: Nick Martinez makes his 6th career start tonight after going 1-0 in his first 5 career starts he is just the 7th pitcher in club history to open an MLB career undefeated over at least his first 5 career starts (see chart) Martinez s only career loss came in relief on 5/14 at HOU he has twice left in position to win a start only to have a blown save behind him, and has exited in position to lose a start just once (Rangers come-from-behind 5-4 win on 4/22 at OAK). MOST STARTS TO OPEN MLB CAREER BY A RANGER, NO LOSSES GS Pitcher Year(s) GS Pitcher Year(s) 12 Alexi Ogando Rick Helling Gerald Alexander Yu Darvish Danny Darwin Nick Martinez 2014* 6 Mike Loynd 1986 * - current JOAKIM SORIA has saved each of the Rangers last 3 wins in his 12 save chances this season, batters have gone 3-for-40 (.075) with one walk (an IBB) and 13 strikeouts fielding independent pitching (FIP) is a statistic that measures a pitcher s effectiveness at preventing home runs, walks, and hit by pitches, and at causing strikeouts according to baseball-reference.com, the only reliever in live ball era (since 1920) with a full-season FIP as low as Soria s current 0.81 was ATL s Craig Kimbrel (0.78) in ADRIAN BELTRE had 3 hits last night for 2nd time in the last 4 games, and his 5 games of 3+ hits are tied with Alex Rios for most by any Ranger this season despite missing 2 weeks on the DL Beltre has also accumulated enough plate appearances to qualify for league leader status and enters today ranked 13th in the A.L. with a.302 average. Beltre has 3 of Rangers last 6, and 5 of club s last 10 HR in night games. MORE ODOR: Since he was called to the big leagues on May 8, Rougned Odor leads all Rangers with 8 hits w/ RISP (8-for-21,.381) and ranks 3rd on the club with 11 RBI behind only Adrian Beltre and Alex Rios (12 RBI each) in the Rangers current 10-for-60 span w/ RISP the past 7 games, the only batter with multiple hits w/ RISP is Rougned Odor (3-for-8 w/ RISP). JASON FRASOR stranded both inherited runners last night after entering the game with no outs and 2 on in the 7th inning Frasor has stranded his last 6 inherited runners his 1.89 ERA ranks 13th among A.L. relievers, best in the Texas bullpen, as opponents have batted.209 with 21 strikeouts in 19.0 innings. FINDING THE FORMULA: The Rangers have scored 9 runs over the past 4 games after a 3-game stretch that saw the club go 21-for-45 (.467) with RISP from May , club has gone 10-for-60 w/ RISP the past 7 contests to drop season figure from.274 to.261, still 4th-highest in the A.L Rangers have A.L. s 3rd-highest overall average at.265, rank 5th in OBP at.329, and club s.283 ( ) avg. w/ runners on base is best in A.L. and 2nd in MLB (COL-.305) despite these positive figures, team is 10th in A.L. w/ 4.16 R/G and has scored 2-runs-or-less 22 times, 2nd-most in A.L. and T4th-most in baseball. TOAST TO AN ANNIVERSARY: Today marks the 40th anniversary of the memorable 10 Cent Beer Night game, when the Rangers visited Cleveland Stadium to play the Indians on June 4, 1974 Tom Grieve homered twice in the game (one of 2 multi-hr games in his career) and Jim Sundberg went 1-for-3 with a walk and run the cheap beer promotion that night led to several drunken extracurricular activities by fans over the course of the contest a melee in the 9th inning would only be stopped when the Cleveland Police Department arrived umpiring crew chief Nestor Chylak ruled a forfeit win for the Rangers with the Indians rallying and the game tied at 5-5 in the bottom of the 9th.
