The Texas Rangers mustered up just three hits in a 3-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers.
The Tigers improved to 39-50 while the Rangers fell to 45-44. While they remain a game over .500, there's no reason for this team to be losing to a squad that is poised to be sellers at the trade deadline.
Detroit starter Jack Flaherty picked up just his second win of the year at the expense of the Rangers. The 30-year-old pitched 5.2 scoreless innings, allowing the Rangers' lone three hits in the process. He struck out five batters, marking the only five strikeouts of the game for the Tigers pitching staff.
Cal Quantrill put in five solid innings of work, but all three runs in this game were allowed in the first two innings. Things didn't go according to plan on the Fourth of July as Quantrill fell to 3-1 thanks to a pair of runs scoring in the first and one more coming across in the second.
Texas committed the game's lone error, but the biggest low of this game was the Rangers offense. On a night where fireworks are so prevalent, there were no signs of life in this one for a Rangers team that continues to fight in the American League West.
