Royals star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. hits a milestone homer and helps his team inch a little closer toward playoff picture
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In 2023, the Rangers pulled Jacob deGrom out of a start at Kauffman Stadium in what was the start of the rocky path to his Tommy John surgery. Talk about flashbacks.
Despite the Rangers’ mediocre results, the pitching staff has been dominant all season, with a teamwide ERA of 3.45—the best in MLB. The team has multiple aces, notably Jacob deGrom, who has seemingly returned to his Cy Young-level form after missing most of the 2024 season recovering from Tommy John surgery.
The Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals have little room for error considering they both reside on the outside of a wild-card berth in the American League. Especially as they're about to begin a key four-game series at Kansas City on Monday night.
