Even after reeling, Rangers exit break as AL's best, Yu back (Yahoo Sports)

The Texas Rangers went into the All-Star break reeling, with nine losses their last 12 games and three-fifths of their starting rotation still on the disabled list. ''We went through a stretch where we didn't play good as a team,'' third baseman Adrian Beltre said. As bad as that stretch was - that 15-5 loss to Minnesota was the fifth time in nine games they allowed at least 10 runs - the Rangers go into Wrigley Field this weekend still with the AL's best record (54-36) and a 5 1/2-game division lead over the Houston Astros.
