Danny Jansen knows the strike zone better than almost anyone. He walked 3 times on Sunday, and went 4-for-5 on ABS Challenges — including 3 overturned calls for strikeouts.
Or as Jake Burger put it, he's the "challenge master."

Jacob deGrom continued his career-long dominance of the Dodgers, punching out 9 across 6 innings as the Rangers won the series finale, 5-2. www.mlb.com/news/jacob-d...
Day-game ERA in the Divisional Era (since 1969), minimum 300 innings:
Jacob deGrom, 2.09
Aroldis Chapman, 2.40
Clayton Kershaw, 2.41
Mariano Rivera, 2.48
Jacob deGrom was dominant, the offense strung together double-digit walks and hits, and the Rangers leave Los Angeles with a 5-2 win in the series finale.
Jacob deGrom is done after 6 stellar innings. He struck out 9 while holding the Dodgers to one run. Jacob Latz is in for the 7th. Rangers lead, 3-1.
With Wyatt Langford out, Skip Schumaker elevated Evan Carter to the No. 2 spot in the lineup. So far today he has walked and homered.
Jacob deGrom takes the ball in the Rangers' series finale this afternoon opposite Roki Sasaki.
deGrom has a 2.41 ERA and 96 K's in 14 career starts (89 2/3 innings) against the Dodgers, including the postseason.
Jack Leiter wasn’t himself last night, and Brandon Nimmo (2 HRs) could only do so much by himself on offense.
On a 6-3 Rangers loss: www.mlb.com/news/jack-le...
The Rangers brought the tying run to the plate in the 9th but fall to the Dodgers, 6-3.
McCutchen is batting now, so he appears to be OK.
Andrew McCutchen looked like he was in pain after checking his swing on a pinch-hit strikeout in the 7th.
Brandon Nimmo, again. His 2-run shot in the 6th cuts the Dodgers' lead to 5-3.
The punchout ends Leiter's night after 3 2/3 innings. Tyler Alexander is in for the Rangers. Dodgers lead, 5-1.
Jack Leiter just recorded his 200th career strikeout -- against Shohei Ohtani -- becoming the 3rd pitcher to start his career with the Rangers/Senators franchise and reach 200 K's within his first 41 career games. He joins Yu Darvish and Bobby Witt.
Jack Leiter needed 30 pitches to make it through the 1st inning. He struck out the side, but not before giving up four runs on two homers. LA leads, 4-1, after one.
Brandon Nimmo didn't waste any time putting the Rangers on the board.
The Rangers got good news this morning with Wyatt Langford avoiding an IL stint. He is day to day with a "very mild" right quad strain. More: www.mlb.com/news/wyatt-l...
Wyatt Langford has a small strain in his right quad but will not be going on the injured list. He’s sitting today but is hoping to return to the lineup in 2-3 days. #Rangers
Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said he'd “take that fight any day of the week.”

Wyatt Langford will have imagining done on his right quad today and is hopeful he avoided a long-term injury.
“I think it’s pretty minor,” Langford said. “And then hopefully based on what we see on the imaging, be able to avoid the IL.” www.mlb.com/news/wyatt-l...
Max Muncy's third home run of the night is a walk-off. Dodgers take Game 1 over the Rangers, 8-7.

After 5 solid innings from Kumar Rocker, the Rangers bullpen has given up 4 runs on 9 hits, including Andy Pages' two-run home run. The Dodgers lead, 7-4.
Wyatt Langford has left the game with right quad tightness.
Kumar Rocker induced a Will Smith double play to escape a bases-loaded jam and keep the Rangers ahead, 4-3.
Wyatt Langford's first home run of 2026 makes it 4-2 Rangers in the 5th inning.

SoCal native and 2013 Dodger Skip Schumaker on being back in LA:
"I sat right above the 1B dugout in my childhood with my dad watching these games, so there’s some sentimental value here. I have a lot of family members here ... I’m always looking forward to playing at Dodger Stadium.”
I'm back at Dodger Stadium this weekend, pinch-hitting for @kennlandry.bsky.social on the Rangers beat for MLB dot com!
Game 1 is at 7:10 PT / 9:10 CT. Kumar Rocker is on the bump vs. Tyler Glasnow.
