It’s summertime, Jr. Rangers! Hope you all enjoyed
the end of the school year and are ready for some
summer nights at Globe Life Park in Arlington.
Once again, the Texas Rangers ended the month
of May at the top of the A.L. West Division with
a 31-21 record. The Rangers completed May with
another sweep of in-state rivals, the Houston Astros,
and walked away with a series win against the Toronto
Blue Jays when they visited Globe Life Park.
We also saw the return of starting pitcher,
Yu Darvish, on May 28 when the Rangers took on
the Pittsburgh Pirates. After missing 14 months
while recovering from Tommy John surgery,
Darvish allowed one run on three hits and a walk
while striking out seven. Welcome back, Yu!
May 28 was also a big day for Rangers third
baseman, Adrian Beltre. In the bottom of the
first inning, Beltre hit a two-run homer to drive in
his 1,500th and 1,501st runs. He became the 54th
player in MLB history, and just the fourth third
baseman to collect 1,500 RBI over his career.
The other third basemen include Mike Schmidt
(1,595), George Brett (1,596), and Chipper Jones
(1,623). Congrats Beltre!
Rangers rookie, Nomar Mazara, earned American
League Rookie of the Month honors for the
second month in a row. He is now the first Texas
rookie to win the award twice and he is the first
player to take honors in consecutive months in
either league since the White Sox’ Jose Abreu in
June and July of 2014. Mazara batted .283 with
7 home runs and 17 RBI over 27 games in May,
leading all Major League rookies in RBI and home
runs (tied with Dodgers’ Corey Seager). He led
all American League rookies in batting average
and on-base percentage (.319), ranking second
in slugging (.491), and OPS (.809) among players
with 50-or-more plate appearances. Mazara
also led A.L. rookies in total bases (52), hits (30),
extra-base hits (8), and runs (12).

KID'S ZON E
The Kid’s Zone in center field is a great place to
visit on game days. Cool off this summer by taking
advantage of new, low price of $5 per child. This
indoor and air conditioned venue is equipped with
an interactive playground, a larger-than-life Major
League bat slide and Sony Playstation gaming
systems. Rangers Captain is also in the Kid’s Zone
during the fifth inning of each home game signing
autographs for fans. Don’t forget, Jr. Rangers Club
members get free access to the Kid’s Zone on
Tuesday home games. The Kid’s Zone is also a great
place to host a birthday party for young fans.
To book the Kid’s Zone, CONTACT BILLIE BALL at 817-273-5099,
BBALL@TEXASRANGERS.COM, or VISIT TEXASRANGERS.COM/TOURS.
