The Rangers bullpen blew not one but two leads in Monday night's 4-3 loss to Arizona. First, Aroldis Chapman gave up a game-tying solo home run to Ketel Marte in the ninth inning. Then, after the Rangers took a 3-1 lead in the 11th, Will Smith allowed three runs to bring the club's losing streaking to five games.
The loss proved costly as the Astros and Mariners both won on Monday night lessening the club's lead in the AL West to 1 1/2 games over Houston and 2 games over Seattle.
Is it time to panic, or can the club turn the slump around?
