ARLINGTON — Nathan Eovaldi didn’t start the expected pitching showdown with Tarik Skubal, but he did throw some pitches on Sunday, which may give the Rangers all the relief they needed.

The circumstances of 2025 have only intensified the frustration.

The Texas Rangers are currently on the outside looking in on the playoff race in the American League with a 49-49 record entering play on July 19. 3.5 games beh

The Detroit Tigers will play their 100th game of the season on Sunday night in Arlington, Texas. The Tigers (59-40) and Rangers (50-49) wrap up their three-game series at 7:10 p.m. Eastern time at Globe Life Park. The Tigers have lost six games in a row, their longest skid since 2023.

The Texas Rangers spent the first half of the regular season in search of answers. They tweaked their lineup in each and every direction. They fired a hitting coach and hired a hitting coach. They demoted players and promoted players.
