The Texas Rangers and host Kansas City Royals meet Sunday afternoon in the rubber game of their three-game series. After scoring one run combined in their previous two losses, the Rangers rolled to a 15-4 win Saturday, setting season highs for runs and hits (17). “Our guys did a great job of bouncing back after a tough night,” Texas manager Bruce Bochy said. “It’s all about being resilient in this game.” Ten Rangers had at least one hit in the win one day after Texas lost the series opener 7-1. “It’s good to see everybody do something tonight to help the cause,” Bochy said. “You get shut down the night before and the guys came out and put together great at-bats. It was good for all of them, for their confidence.” Nathaniel Lowe had four hits and two RBIs to lead the charge. His two-out bases-loaded single in the fourth ended the outing for Royals starter Michael Wacha. “Convincing myself that he can’t beat me,” Lowe said of raising his confidence level after being down 0-2 during that fourth-inning at-bat. “It’s the same with anybody, whether it’s a leverage guy, a closer, or the best starter in baseball, at no point can you give in.” Lowe believes the club is trying to refashion its offense.
