After a week of weaker teams, the Rangers ran into the first place Astros. Dallas Keuchel resdiscovered his stuff, which means he was not going to allow much. He went seven innings and gave up two runs. And in another spirited start, Austin Bibens-Dirkx gave up five in six […]
On paper, this one’s a no brainer. A former Cy Young winner and one-time ace of the World Series winning team is going up against a thirty-three-year-old career minor leaguer who has only ten major league starts. No way Austin Bibens-Dirkx has any chance in this one against Dallas […]
