Texas Rangers lineup for July 27, 2021 against the Arizona Diamondbacks: starting pitchers are Dane Dunning for the Rangers and Taylor Widener for the D-Backs.
And we resume with the live baseball games today, between the teams with the two worst records in baseball. At least I think so. I could be wrong but I doubt if, and even if I’m wrong, you get my point. It’s two bad teams having awful seasons playing a two game series in July.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) All-Star slugger Joey Gallo hit his first home run since the break, a towering three-run shot to put Texas ahead, and also had two more assists from right field as the Rangers ended a 12-game losing streak with a 5-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night.
Dane Dunning (4-7) allowed two runs on six hits in 6 1/3 innings. The right-hander struck out three and walked two while earning only his second win in his last 12 starts.
Ian Kennedy, the veteran reliever who like Gallo could potentially be traded before Friday’s deadline, pitched a perfect ninth inning for his 16th save in 17 opportunities and first since July 9, the night before the Texas losing streak began. The D-backs had scored twice in the eighth, when they also left runners on first and third.

The Arizona Diamondbacks continue to own the worst record in baseball but they aren t playing the poorest ball in the majors.
The Texas Rangers currently hold that label and they strive to halt a 12-game losing streak when they face the Diamondbacks on Tuesday night in the opener of a two-game set at Arlington, Texas.
The Rangers slide is just three games away from matching the worst in franchise history a 15-gamer in 1972 under manager Ted Williams. Yes, that Ted Williams.
Texas has been outscored 80-20 during the streak and has been blanked three times and scored just one run in four other games.
