Derek Dietrich shows ‘em how it’s done as Rangers rally over Mariners

So all it took for the Rangers to figure out how to hit was to bring in the dude-ist bro I’ve maybe ever seen?

Well, slap on the baby oil, get a nice tan in, grab your gold chains, tear a few sleeves, and get those biceps shredded baby because the Derek Dietrich Rangers are 1-0 and are scoring seven runs per game as Texas completed a full comeback win after trailing 4-0 into the sixth inning.

With the win, believe it or not, the Rangers are a victory away from being back .500 again and they’ve now won consecutive series.

Thanks, AL West!

Player of the Game: Dietrich collected two singles, a double, reached via a HBP, stole a base, and scored two runs in his debut for Texas. That felt like a breath of that crisp air after a lightning strike that the offense has missed for weeks.

Up Next: The off days for the Rangers continue to be crammed into the first third of the season as Texas will take Thursday off before opening up a series in Colorado against the Rockies on Friday night with Lance Lynn set to get the call in the opener.
