ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers have already gotten quite a bit of a relief after spending all of that big money on starting pitchers. Texas relievers have thrown 21 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings since allowing their only two runs in the season opener after Jacob deGrom’s early exit.

Texas relievers had an MLB-best 0.73 ERA with with opposing batters hitting only .134 against them through the first six games.
