Series By The Numbers: Rangers @ Indians

Make it three series losses in a row, and after facing surprising Toronto and surprising Cleveland, it is now surprising Baltimore, with the Majors best record, who await the Rangers.

It just goes to show how perfect everything had been going for the Rangers when it stops. They are making mistakes that are costing them, and they are not getting the big hit or pitch when they need it. They have had to deal with their best two hitters having a nagging injury. They have still been in almost every game, but the Rangers luck has been trending down from where it was at the beginning of the season.
