The Texas Rangers had a chance to win a road series Wednesday, and the White Sox seemed willing to let them by issuing eight walks in the first three-plus innings. But the offense stalled, and the pitching staff (MacKenzie Gore and Robby Ahlstrom) broke down in a 10-4 loss. The Rangers were off Thursday before opening a weekend series at Milwaukee. The Brewers have the best record in baseball, so the Rangers will be hard-pressed to win the series and risk falling further behind in the postseason race.
