The Texas Rangers finished a six-game week against the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Toronto Blue Jays with a 2-4 record, three late-game meltdowns, two position players injured and one big bad blowout loss.

Nathan Eovaldi impresses with another scoreless performance, strengthening his Cy Young candidacy with a 1.38 ERA.

He wasn't supposed to be the best starting pitcher at baseball at age 35. Then again, he wasn't supposed to become a World Series icon or a Texas Ranger legend, either. What if the Cy Young Award is next?
