Corey Seager hit a two-run double with two outs in the eighth inning and the Texas Rangers finally got back to .500 with a 2-0 victory over Detroit on Friday night that extended the MLB-best Tigers’ season-worst losing streak to five.

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

The Texas Rangers spent the first half of the regular season in search of answers. They tweaked their lineup in each and every direction. They fired a hitting coach and hired a hitting coach. They demoted players and promoted players.

This weekend's three-game set offers big-name pitchers with national intrigue, plus a pair of elite bullpens with unleaded gas.

The bad: According to Tankathon’s strength of schedule index, home or away, the Rangers schedule is difficult. With their remaining opponents having a .513 composite winning percentage, the schedule ranks as the sixth toughest. The glimmer here: Boston’s is tougher at .516.

The Texas Rangers officially place one of their outfielders on the injured list ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers.
