KEY GAME INFORMATION
KANSAS CITY: 2017: 80-82, third place.
MANAGER: Ned Yost (ninth season).
ADDITIONS: RHP Jesse Hahn, CF Jon Jay, 1B Lucas Duda, RHP Wily Peralta, RHP Justin Grimm.
SUBTRACTIONS: 1B Eric Hosmer, CF Lorenzo Cain, LHP Jason Vargas, RHP Joakim Soria, LHP Mike Minor, OF Melky Cabrera, LHP Scott Alexander, DH Brandon Moss, RHP Mike Morin, LHP Ryan Buchter, RHP Trevor Cahill.
OUTLOOK: This was supposed to be a rebuilding year in Kansas City, when most of the Royals' top players hit free agency en masse. With Moustakas and Escobar finding little market, both returned to Kansas City with prove-it contracts. That gives the Royals a fighting chance to stay competitive into July, and then all bets are off. But the reality is there are still far too many holes, both in the lineup and on the pitching staff, for the Royals to be considered contenders. They would do well to match the 80 wins they had last season, and could be a big seller at the July 31 trade deadline, which would allow them to replenish a shallow farm system and begin their rebuilding job in earnest.
TEXAS: 2017: 78-84, tied for third place.
MANAGER: Jeff Banister (fourth season).
ADDITIONS: LHP Mike Minor, LHP Matt Moore, RHP Doug Fister, RHP Jesse Chavez, RHP Bartolo Colon, 1B Tommy Joseph.
SUBTRACTIONS: 1B-DH Mike Napoli, CF Carlos Gomez, RHP Andrew Cashner, RHP Jason Grilli, RHP A.J. Griffin, LHP Dario Alvarez.
OUTLOOK: AL West champs in each of Banister's first two seasons, the Rangers are coming off their second losing season in nine years. With most of their everyday lineup back, they should be able to hit and score runs again. But in a division with the defending World Series champs and other improved teams, Texas must depend on a revamped rotation ' maybe using six starters in some variation ' and the hope that its bullpen will be drastically improved. The Rangers scored 799 runs last year and ranked third in the majors with 237 homers. Seven returning players had at least 17. That group is led by Gallo, now the primary first baseman after playing three positions in his first full big league season. Hamels, the clear No. 1 starter now that Yu Darvish is gone, missed seven weeks in 2017 with an oblique strain and threw fewer than 200 innings for the first time since 2009. Perez could unexpectedly be ready for opening day after breaking his non-pitching elbow in a mishap on his ranch in Venezuela before Christmas. Fister didn't pitch his first major league game last season until June, and Minor hasn't started since 2014 with the Braves.
PREVIEW
Rangers go for series victory versus Royals
 

The Texas Rangers have, by necessity due to a slew of injuries, relied on their young players to pick up the slack though most of the first quarter of the 2018 season.

But it was a pair of the Rangers' older and established players who carried them to a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday afternoon to guarantee a split of a four-game series.

The Royals will send right-hander Jason Hammel (1-5, 5.70 ERA) to the mound Sunday afternoon in the series finale at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas, to oppose Rangers ace left-hander Cole Hamels (3-4, 3.38).

On Saturday, in the searing heat in north Texas, 45-year old Bartolo Colon pitched seven innings of three-run, five-hit baseball that kept his team in the game.

Then 35-year-old designated hitter Shin-Soo Choo ended the game in the bottom of the 10th with an opposite-field solo home run.

"Winning games always make us happy and we played a good game through the 10 innings," Choo said. "I had a hitter's count, and I just tried to hit the ball hard, and I made good contact."

It was Choo's eighth home run of the season and allowed the Rangers to win for the second straight game. Choo, who is from South Korea, moved past Japan's Hideki Matsui for most home runs in MLB history by a player from Asia with 176.

Colon is the 14th pitcher since 1920 to go at least seven innings in a start after his 45th birthday.

Meanwhile, prior to Saturday's game, the Royals placed left-hander starter Eric Skoglund on the 10-day disabled list with a left ulnar collateral ligament sprain, an injury that often leads to Tommy John surgery and a year or more of rehabilitation.

Skoglund said Saturday that his elbow has been bothering him for much of the season. He will undergo an MRI, likely Monday, after the Royals return home from Texas.

"It's something that's been eating at me for about six weeks -- it's just frustrating," Skoglund told MLB.com. "You put in so much work to help this team win, and then you do get the opportunity and something like this happens. It's not fun. I want answers and hopefully we get something out of (the MRI), and we go from there."

The Royals activated rookie left-hander Eric Stout on Saturday to take Skoglund's place on the active roster. Stout has made two major league appearances, allowing three earned runs in two relief innings in late April.

Hammel will make his 11th start of the season as Kansas City concludes a seven-game road trip. He snapped a 13-start winless streak with a 5-1 victory in St. Louis on Tuesday. He gave up one run on nine hits with no walks and a season-high six strikeouts over seven innings.

He's 1-2 with a 6.37 ERA in six road starts this season. Globe Life Park is one of four parks Hammel has pitched in and not picked up a win.

Hammel is 1-3 with a 4.66 ERA in eight games (six starts) versus Texas.

Hamels also will make his 11th start of the season. He has five consecutive starts with two earned runs or fewer, tied for the fourth-longest streak in the American League this year.

He will be working on regular four days of rest after picking up the win in the Rangers' 6-4 victory on Tuesday versus New York. Hamels completed a season-best seven innings in the win and received a season-high six runs of support after getting one run from the Rangers' offense in four of his previous five outings.

Hamels is 3-1 with a 2.86 ERA in five starts versus Kansas City.
