Texas Rangers designated hitter Kyle Higashioka was almost put out twice by All-Star players from Detroit in a strange sequence.

Marcus Semien hit his 250th career home run and Adolis García also went deep to back up a strong start by Nathan Eovaldi and give the Texas Rangers a 5-1, series clinching victory over the Houston Astros on Sunday.

Despite having a record below .500, the Texas Rangers had some bright spots — namely, the pitching and some recent success at the plate.

While they didn't exactly get off to a strong start with their 6-5 loss on Monday, the Rangers flashed the high upside their offense possesses with a dominant 13-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday.

The Texas Rangers bring pitching intrigue to their series against the Seattle Mariners with the debut of Kumar Rocker and returns of Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer.

It might surprise you to know that when I filtered for Rangers players between 2000 and 2025, Kinsler was the third-most valuable player by fWAR (29.3, trailing only Adrián Beltré and Andrus).

HOUSTON — Marcus Semien hit his 250th career home run and Adolis García also went deep to back up a strong start by Nathan Eovaldi and give the Texas Rangers a 5-1, series-clinching victory over the Houston Astros on Sunday. Career homer No. 250 for the (still) sizzling-hot Semien. 🔥🔥🔥 (Via @Rangers | #AllForTX) pic.twitter.com/I0E6qz1IOb
