Streak snapped: Rangers avoid sweep at the hands of Guardians

This was not at all how a homecoming was supposed to go for the Texas Rangers. After being swept by the worst team in the league, the Colorado Rockies in the road series finale last week, the idea was that Texas would come home and enter an “iron sharpens iron” situation, where the first place Cleveland Guardians would bring out the best in the team. Instead, Texas dropped its second straight series and didn't look especially competitive in doing so despite a series finale shutout victory that snapped their season-worst five-game losing streak.
