HOUSTON – It has been a week for the Rangers. Lost Mitch Garver for a month on Monday. Lost Corey Seager for a month the next day. Nearly watched Jon Gray’s arm go up in smoke over the weekend. Meanwhile, the outfield and DH carousel seems stalled.
And, yet, when it was done, this is where things stood: They had won a series at Houston for the first time in nearly five years; they had a lead in the AL West of more than one game for the first time in nearly six seasons.
They are, at least for the moment, surviving.
