The Rangers are set to get another couple pitchers back soon, but may have lost another on Sunday.

Keider Montero got the start for the Tigers, his first since July 7th (he did a bad spot of relief on July 12th). His previous start was a 6 inning, 1 run success against the Rays. The Rangers couldn’t do anything in the first, grounding out twice and ending with a Marcus Semien swinging strikeout on a nasty pitch.
The Detroit Tigers were limited to four hits and lost, 2-0, to the Texas Rangers on Friday, July 18, in the opener of a three-game series at Globe Life Field. The Rangers scored both runs off Kahnle, a right-handed reliever, in the eighth inning.
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.
