It was very quiet in the clubhouse following Friday's loss. Marlon Byrd believes the losses of Michael Young and Josh Hamilton are starting to catch up with the team. It's certainly not helping the offense. The Rangers have scored one run in the last 46 innings and have been shut out in four of the last five games.
The losses are taking on historic proportions. Here's a look at a few of the ugly numbers.
The Rangers are the sixth team since 1954 to score one run in a span of five or more games.
The last team to accomplish that ugly feat was the Washington Senators, who did it in 1964. At least they're keeping it in the family.
It's the first time in Texas history they've been shut out four times in five games.
The Rangers haven't scored in the last 23 innings.
They were 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position Friday and are 0 for 27 in the five-game slide.
The scoreless streak is the longest since they went 25 innings without a run Sept. 1-4, 2004. They are five innings from matching the longest scoreless streak in club history.
They face 15-game winner Jered Weaver Saturday.
