The Texas Rangers are having a tough time, as they lost to the Cincinnati Reds yet again on Tuesday night. This means that they are close to being swept by the Reds, so the pressure is on for Wednesday’s game (Sports Illustrated). Rangers’ pitcher Jon Gray will take the hill, and he’ll need to be at his best if his team is going to avoid being swept by Cincinnati.

Meanwhile, the Rangers’ game on Monday was disappointing, as they were leading late in the game but ultimately lost to the Reds. This is the second night in a row that the Rangers have blown a late lead, which is certainly frustrating for the team (Naija News).

The Texas Rangers are looking into the matter (TXK Today).
Switching to the ice, the New York Rangers faced off against the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night. Dougie Hamilton scored the game-winning goal in overtime, giving the Devils a 2-1 victory over their rival New York team (The Rink Live).
