The Texas Rangers are starting to show signs of life and they will seek their second straight win against the Kansas City Royals in a matinée today at Globe Life Park. Texas will turn to Bartolo Colón to get things done. Colón might be 45 years old and 285 pounds but he still knows how to pitch. He is 2-2, with a 3.51 ERA, and a WHIP of just 0.92. Colón was roughed up in his last turn but he was facing the Bronx Bombers and they do that to everybody. Kansas City will counter with Ian Kennedy, who has been awful. Kennedy is 1-5 on the season, with a 5.30 ERA, a 1.54 WHIP, and in his last 3 turns he was 0-2, with a bloated ERA of 10.91 and a WHIP of 1.91. The Royals are a dismal 5-16 in their last 21 encounters with the Rangers.
