Marcus Semien kept the good times rolling Saturday night with a walk-off single to beat the Atlanta Braves and clinch the team’s fourth consecutive series victory. That includes series wins over the division-leading Astros and Tigers, plus a sweep of the Athletics.

The Atlanta Braves are once again stuck between a rock and a hard place on the injury front. It's time to consider sweeping changes at the trade deadline.

The Texas Rangers will go for their second consecutive series sweep and their sixth straight win when they square off with the struggling Atlanta Braves on Sunday afternoon in the finale of a three-game interleague series in Arlington, Texas.

Just this past month, the Rangers broke out their red hats for the first time this year vs. the Mariners. The red hats were the club’s only hats for its first three playoff seasons and a regular part of the rotation in the 2010-11 World Series runs.

ARLINGTON — The Texas Rangers officially activated designated hitter Joc Pederson from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. The move was made in advance of the series finale with the Atlanta Braves at Globe Life Field. Manager Bruce Bochy announced on Saturday the intention was to activate Pederson and start him at DH on Sunday.

Injuries continue to hit the Braves’ rotation. The latest setback is right-hander Grant Holmes officially landing on the injured list with right elbow inflammation on Sunday, a day after he complained of elbow tightness during his start against the Rangers on Saturday.

The Rangers didn’t string together any big rallies until the eighth inning but continually put runs on the scoreboard in the first, second, fourth and fifth innings. The wheels fell off in the eighth by way of an erratic Rafael Montero.
