The Texas Rangers are third place in their division through the first month of the MLB season, with struggles behind the plate. What’s stood out from the team’s early play?

Texas had a much-needed offensive breakout while Jacob deGrom struck out seven over six scoreless innings for his first win in more than two years, though he had pitched well enough to win in several other starts this season.
