ARLINGTON, TX - JUNE 04: Travis Jankowski #16 of the Texas Rangers makes a leaping catch at the outfield fence off a hit from Mike Ford #20 of the Seattle Mariners in the fifth inning during the game between the Seattle Mariners and the Texas RangersMarcus Semien’s hitting streak, Nathan Eovaldi’s nearly untouchable pitching, Travis Jankowski’s leaping catches."Everybody I feel like is groovin’ right now," Eovaldi said.
Texas scored at least 10 runs for a major league-leading 16th time in 58 games and has won five straight series, its longest streak in five years. The right-hander has a 0.68 ERA in his past seven starts, a stretch that includes a career-best streak of 29 2/3 scoreless innings and two complete games. He began the day as the only pitcher in the majors with multiple complete games.
Jankowski, the No. 9 hitter, was the last to join the group with a leadoff double in the sixth. By then, the center fielder had already made the defensive play of the game bywith a leaping catch over the wall in front of the Texas bullpen in right-center in the fifth. "We’re not playing winning baseball against top-flight teams," manager Scott Servais said. "It’s one of the best offenses we’ve seen all year. Ton of credit there. And on the flip side, we didn’t pitch our best, or play our best, in this series."
