The weather outlook for Thursday includes the possibility of snow. The Red Sox/Pirates game has already been postponed. Other games likely to be affected include:
- Phillies at Reds
- Marlins at Nationals
- Braves at Mets
Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird and Matt Holliday are 4 for 37 with one RBI.. Gary Sanchez is off to a 1-for-14 start
Rangers:
- Swept by Indians
- Two blown saves – Sam Dyson gave up eight ninth inning runs in two outings and did not finish the inning either time.
- Winless after three games for the first time since 2007
I think it’s a little early to reconsider things, We’ve been in this situation before. It doesn’t look good because it’s the start of the season. We got to find a way to figure it out. Sam’s going to figure it out. We’ll put our heads together and we’ll work on it. This is a guy that’s been really good for us. I’m not going to jump off after two games.Manager Jeff Banister
