The Texas Rangers poured on the runs against the Minnesota Twins, but acquiring bat at the trade deadline is still an urgent need.

The Texas Rangers and Minnesota Twins wrap up a 3-game series Thursday afternoon at Target Field in Minneapolis.

Corbin, a 35-year-old left-handed starter, let Minnesota’s seven-through-nine hitters reach on two singles and a walk to load the bases and lead off the bottom of the second inning. The Rangers scored five runs in the top half of that inning to take a 6-1 lead but were suddenly in danger of wasting that gained momentum.

The Texas Rangers may have a need to bring up a starter from the minor leagues, depending upon how things develop with this key starter

Josh Smith, Jake Burger and Wyatt Langford went deep in the first two innings and the Texas Rangers hit a season-high six home runs in a 16-3 romp over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday.
