Meanwhile, the Rangers sure have floundered after getting off to that amazing 9-1 start. They’re 7-12 since, and the series loss against the A’s leaves them with six defeats in the past eight.

With this mind, how could we not take the opportunity to discuss the amazing start we’ve seen from the Cleveland Indians? The Tribe currently enjoys a 4.5-game lead in the AL Central. Anyone that predicted such a scenario a month or so ago would have to be accused of drinking a bit too much Lake Erie water (of course, we would have already known that because they would be glowing — and not in a good way).

Like most of the Twins, Valencia is struggling so far this season. He currently has two homers, 13 RBI and a .217 BA.

The dude is batting fifth (and sometimes cleanup) in Los Angeles’ lineup yet has only driven in five freaking runs all season. He’s hitting .146 with runners on base and .174 with RISP. Yikes.
