Injuries took a major
toll on the Rangers in 2014. The lone bright spot was Adrián Beltré, who
despite spending some time injured, was the most consistent offensive player on
the team. On September 4, 2014, the Rangers became the first MLB Australia team officially
eliminated from 2014 postseason contention when a 10–2 loss at home to the
Seattle Mariners dropped their record to 53–87. The following day, manager Ron
Washington resigned, citing personal issues. 2015: Mid-season revitalization

Texas Rangers season
The 2015 season
started off on a bad note with the Ranger’s Ace pitcher Yu Darvish having to
undergo Tommy John surgery due to a torn UCL before the season began. According
to most experts, the Rangers were not expected to place any better than fourth
or fifth in the American League West. However, even though the Rangers started
the season with an 8-16 record, they were able to surpass the .500 mark on a
few different occasions throughout the year. Surprisingly, in 2015 the Rangers
were one of the best road teams in all of baseball hats australia with a
road record of 45-36. Only the Chicago Cubs had a better road record with
48-33.
With the acquisition
of Cole Hamels, the Rangers would retain a winning record after August 3. The
Rangers would overtake the Houston Astros and clinch the American League West
title on the final day of the season with a record of 88-74. It was the
Rangers’ 6th division title and 7th postseason appearance in franchise history.
Hamels’ positive effect on the Rangers was compared to that of the Toronto Blue
Jays’ David Price, another ace starting pitcher who helped spearhead a run to
the postseason after blending in seamlessly with a struggling team who acquired
him at the trade deadline. The Rangers lost to the Toronto Blue Jays in five
games in the Division Series after squandering a 2-0 series lead.
