SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Ron Washington has raved about how his Texas Rangers never let a loss carry into the next day. Fresh slate, new chance. That approach worked so well for the reigning AL champions last season.
More than a month into 2011, both the World Series champion San Francisco Giants and Washington’s runner-up Rangers have faced their share of challenges while hovering near the .500 mark.
The Giants hope they’ve steadied themselves after a weekend sweep over first-place Colorado. The banged-up Rangers lost two of three at home to the New York Yankees.
