The Texas Rangers' bullpen faced a heavy workload in their recent 10-6 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, marking their fourth consecutive game extending into extra innings. Despite entering Monday's game with an impressive 3.33 ERA, fatigue was evident as relief pitchers struggled against the Orioles, notably Robert Garcia and Hoby Milner, who each gave up crucial home runs. Manager Bruce Bochy expressed concern about the impact of these extended outings on the bullpen’s performance.

In addition to pitching challenges, the Rangers' offense continues to falter with runners in scoring position, exacerbating their issues. With a pivotal road trip looming against competitive teams like the San Diego Padres and Houston Astros, the Rangers must find a way to rejuvenate their bullpen and improve their offensive efficiency to maintain their standing in the competitive AL West.
