This article was originally published on www.si.com/mlb/rangers as Rangers Star Corey Seager Reaches Base in 13 Straight, Posts Monster Numbers. The Texas Rangers might not be having the best season, but one thing is certain: it isn’t because of their shortstop, Corey Seager.
The Rangers have scored the third-most runs in baseball since June 25 but have an under .500 record in that span to show for it.
Seager doubled home a run in the first inning to give Texas an early lead. He's hit safely in 10 of the last 11 games and reached base safely in all 11, going 12-for-41 (.293) with four home runs, three doubles, nine RBI and 11 runs scored during that stretch.
At this stage of the season, it's hard to expect much more out of the Texas Rangers. Through 90 games, they have largely proven what they are; a middling team.
