Outstanding pitching and the Texas Rangers, historically, are not two things that go together. But this Rangers pitching staff is writing their own narrative.

The Texas Rangers will go for their second consecutive series sweep and their sixth straight win when they square off with the struggling Atlanta Braves on Sunday afternoon in the finale of a three-game interleague series in Arlington,

In 2025, Detroit Tigers reliever Luke Jackson has posted a 4.11 ERA with 19 walks and 24 strikeouts across 35 innings in 39 games for the Texas Rangers.

Texas still holds the best team ERA in baseball and by a good margin, 3.18 to the second-place Royals' 3.50. The bullpen of mixed parts and pieces remains among the best in baseball, their ERA second in MLB behind the Astros.

Rangers veteran All-Star second baseman Marcus Semien made it clear when he addressed what this deadline means. “I want to be adding at the deadline,” Semien said in the Rangers clubhouse after a recent game. “I always want to make that a goal of mine: To make sure I’m on a team that is adding at the deadline.”

Semien — nearly two hours after he was struck in the face by a fastball — hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th inning to clinch the Rangers’ 6-5 win vs. the Atlanta Braves at Globe Life Field. His hit secured a fifth-straight victory for the Rangers and extended a four-series win streak that dates back to before the All-Star break.
