Max Scherzer is set to face off with Justin Verlander in a historic showdown to cap off the Rangers-Astros series.
Bruce Bochy said the Rangers have looked at any number of potential lineup tweaks to jump start the offense. Here’s one possibility, contradictory as it may sound: Drop the AL’s leading run producer out of the cleanup spot., the only AL player with 100 RBIs this season, had a three-hit game in his first game after the All-Star break, but is hitting .196 since with 60 strikeouts in 158 at-bats.
“Oh, we’ve talked about a lot of things,” Bochy said. “It’s a fair question with the struggles Adolis has been having. It’s not off the table.”García has made 129 of his 131 starts this year in the No. 4 spot with the two others in the No. 3 spot. But Mitch Garver, who has been hitting fifth, is 10 for 26 with 12 RBIs with runners in scoring position since August 1. In that same time: García is 6 for 33 .
