The Texas Rangers are proving to be an unstoppable force on the offensive front, firmly establishing themselves as leaders in multiple key categories within the American League. While their strategic acquisitions in pitching have earned praise, it’s the relentless power of their bats that continues to captivate fans and opponents alike.

In a commanding 7-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels at Globe Life Field, the Rangers showcased their offensive prowess once again by amassing an impressive 11 hits, led by the performance of Jordan Montgomery. This victory propelled their tally of games with double-digit hits this season to an unmatched 58, securing their position as the MLB’s standout in this category.

With a current record of 72-48, Texas is not only at the forefront of the American League but is also leading the charge with a staggering 691 runs, a statistic that places them third in franchise history through 120 games. This remarkable feat places them in the company of legendary teams from 1999 and 1996, who hold records of 705 and 702 runs respectively during the same period. Furthermore, the Rangers are unchallenged in hits (1,138) and doubles (263), sporting an impressive team slash line of .273/.342/.464. Only the Atlanta Braves outshine them in these categories.

The clash with the Angels witnessed a barrage of extra-base hits, including two powerful home runs by Corey Seager. Remarkably, Texas has now secured at least one extra-base hit in an astonishing 79 consecutive games, positioning them fourth in the all-time list for the Washington/Texas franchise. A mere game separates them from the third spot held since 2003, standing at 80 games.

Despite having played in just 77 games, Corey Seager has emerged as a formidable force with 22 home runs and 54 extra-base hits, sharing the team lead with Adolis García.

Manager Bruce Bochy attributes this impressive performance to the collective efforts of the entire team, emphasizing the cohesion and synchronicity that have defined their play. The Rangers’ dominance is particularly evident in August, boasting a formidable 12-2 record and surging ahead with a 3.5-game lead over the Houston Astros in the fiercely contested AL West.

Bochy’s assessment speaks volumes: “We’re playing well. We’re doing a lot of good things right now. And it starts with the pitching. They’re just doing a really nice job of getting us quality starts and length. The bullpen is doing a great job and offense, we’re getting hits when we need it.”
