    Boggs homers after smashing his knee, Feldman works out of a jam, and the Rangers lead 2-0 in the third…

    Brandon Boggs is my hero. Two-run double makes it 4-0 Texas.

    CJ’s threatening to give away the streak, and possibly the game with a few more baserunners…

    Rangers win it on a 3-2 strikeout!

    This team is so much fun to watch right now. Just three games under .500…
