Texas Rangers
The Rangers finished a mini home stand this weekend by losing the rubber match to Washington, 6–4.
Jackson Tetreault earned the win with six innings of one-run ball. Juan Soto reached base all five times he came to the plate, going 1-for-1 with four walks.
Rangers starter Glenn Otto only lasted two innings and gave up all six runs on six hits and three walks.
So Texas had to go to the bullpen early but at least it pitched well.
Garrett Richards threw three good innings to eat up the middle portion of the game and John King threw the next two scoreless.
Martin Perez will take the ball on Monday in the midst of a career resurgence back where it all started in Arlington.
Perez was actually pretty good for Boston in the previous two seasons but he’s taken it to a new level this season in Texas.
With a 5–2 record and an American League-best 196 ERA+ in 14 starts, Perez is set to make his first All-Star team at age 31 years after some speculated his career may be over.
Perez actually started the season with consecutive starts of four innings pitched and three earned runs.
Since, he has gone at least six innings in 11 of 12 starts and given up either one or no runs ten times. He gave up two once and six another time.
He beat the Royals for his first win of the season in mid-May with 6.1 innings of one-run ball.
Kansas City Royals
Perez will face 24-year-old left-hander Kris Bubic, who is experiencing a setback in this his third Major League season (or at least partial season).
After posting an ERA+ in the low triple-digits in each of his first two seasons — a total of 30 starts — Bubic has been dreadful in ten games — nine starts — in 2022.
Unlike Perez, who has been better than any pitcher in the AL at limiting home runs, Bubic is serving up 1.6 per nine innings.
He’s given up three times the home runs Perez has in far fewer innings.
However, he went six innings for the first time this season in his last start against the Angels.
In the start before that, he pitched into the sixth before being lifted against the Giants. He finished with five hits and three earned runs allowed in that one.
Oh, and earlier this month he blanked the Astros in five full innings of work.
Those are his three best starts of the season, all within his last four trips to the mound.

Texas Rangers vs. Kansas City Royals MLB Prediction:
There’s something to like about both starting pitchers in this matchup.
Neither offense packs much of a punch, either.
The Rangers may have had to go to their bullpen early on Sunday but they avoided having to use their best guys, who will all be available for this game.
The Royals got 8.1 innings out of Brady Singer, which means their bullpen is relatively well-rested, too.
So give me the under here.
