Texas completes the sweep of Seattle this afternoon with a 2-1 win. Hunter Pence's 6th inning home run, his 10th of the season, provided the margin of victory. Hunter's career seemed over after posting OPS+s of 84 and 63 in his final two seasons with the Giants. New Rangers hitting Luis Ortiz's magic dust has brought that leaden bat back to life as Pence's current triple slash is .312/.364/.651. At age 36, his revival is almost as impressive as the wonders Ortiz has worked with Joey Gallo.

Texas have won 7 of their last 8 and move a game over .500.

Seattle started the season 13-2, but are 10-27 since that miraculous beginning and have sunk to the AL West cellar.

Dang you Rangers, you're giving me hope, improbable hope that this might be a successful season.
