The Texas Rangers keep on hitting.

With their 16-6 win over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday, the Texas Rangers advance to 37-20 on the season and remain the leaders in the AL West. The big boys at the top of the lineup were on fire. Marcus Semien went 4-for-6, Corey Seager went 3-for-5, and Nathaniel Lowe went 3-for-6. Semien and Lowe homered, along with Leody Taveras and Mitch Garver.
