The Texas Rangers arrived home from a dismal West Coast trip littered with travel issues and wasted momentum early Monday morning in search of an end to a recent skid of poor play. They instead found baseball absolution disguised in the form of two swings from two sluggers who might’ve needed them more than any.

Eovaldi allowed just one hit in eight shutout innings for the Rangers, shutting down one of baseball’s best lineups.

Nathan Eovaldi pitched eight sharp innings, Rowdy Tellez blooped a two-run single on a 10-pitch at-bat in the eighth, and the Texas Rangers spoiled Aaron Judge's return with a 2-0 victory over the New York Yankees.
