Red Sox Clobber Rangers Plus Chesnutt Prevails…Again

 

Last night the Texas Rangers get blasted by the Boston Red Sox 11-4. The bright spot of the night came off the bat of Mike Napoli. It was a collective struggle for the Rangers, who now fall to 40-44 on the season, 17 games back of the AL West-leading Houston Astros. Texas will try to avoid the sweep tonight against Boston [on KPLT 1490am and 96.3fm]. First pitch at Globe Life Park is set for 7:05.
Rangers starting pitcher, Yu Darvish, has been selected to next week’s MLB All-Star Game. Darvish is 6-7 with a 3.56 ERA and 123 strikeouts on the season. Shortstop Elvis Andrus is a Final Vote candidate to make his 3rd All-Star appearance.
A hectic NBA Free Agency continued over the holiday. Forward Gordon Hayward elected to leave Utah and sign with the Boston Celtics. He’ll sign a four-year max contract worth $127 million. Last season Hayward averaged over 21 points per game to go along with five and a half rebounds and three and a half assists. Finals MVP, Kevin Durant, agreed to return to the Warriors on a two-year, $53 million deal.
And for the 10th time in the past 11 years, the Hot Dog Hoover, the Wizard of the Wiener, the Bottomless Pit, Joey Chestnut, wins the 2017 Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. This year Chestnut ate a record 72 hot dogs in ten minutes at the annual Independence Day event.
