Rangers prospect Cody Freeman was sitting at a blackjack table in Las Vegas on Friday morning with his father. Triple-A Round Rock was playing the Las Vegas Aviators later Friday night and his parents made the trip.

The first seven innings had looked all too familiar for the Rangers. When they were given a great opportunity by the Tigers on a missed tag in the baselines and a throwing error in the third, giving them runners on the corners and one out, Josh Smith swung at a 3-0 pitch at the top of the zone for a pop-up. The inning died on a Seager strikeout.

Kumar Rocker hit 97.3 mph with his sinker, averaging 95.8 mph, and 97.0 m-h with his fastball, averaging 95.5 mph. Hoby Milner reached 88.4 mph with his fastball. Jacob Webb’s fastball topped out at 94.4 mph.

The Detroit Tigers take on the Texas Rangers in the second game of their three-game series on Saturday night in Arlington.

It’s vaulted Seager’s season-long numbers back to normalcy. His .830 OPS is the best among all Texas hitters and ranks fourth among AL shortstops. His 13 home runs are second teamwide to only outfielder Wyatt Langford.
