Josh Smith, Jake Burger and Wyatt Langford went deep in the first two innings and the Texas Rangers hit a season-high six home runs in a 16-3 romp over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday.

More proof toward that assessment is the fact that the Rangers outscored Minnesota 34-13 in this series. Indeed, after the 16-run outbreak on Tuesday, the two runs scored in last night’s loss became the aberrant total for this series as today Texas piled 16 more runs on the Twins.

Rangers launch five homers, Bailey Ober implodes, and Jonah Bride pitches for the third time in eight days, as Twins suffer another embarrassing blowout.

Buxton showcased his remarkable skills: first with a diving catch to save a run and then hitting the longest home run of his career.

Just as this young Texas Rangers outfielder has gotten on track offensively, he left Friday’s game with an injury.

After a complete obliteration of the team last night, the Twins took the field in hopes of a redemption game Wednesday. Their superstar put them on his back.

Corbin, a 35-year-old left-handed starter, let Minnesota’s seven-through-nine hitters reach on two singles and a walk to load the bases and lead off the bottom of the second inning. The Rangers scored five runs in the top half of that inning to take a 6-1 lead but were suddenly in danger of wasting that gained momentum.
