The Texas Rangers have been a below-average offense for the past few weeks, but they had a banner night in the batter’s box and in the courtroom Wednesday. They’ll have to face Felix Hernandez on Thursday night, but the visiting Rangers have every reason to believe they can stay hot after their two latest performances against the Seattle Mariners ace. Texas was the third highest-scoring team in the majors as of July 20, averaging 5.2 runs, a pace that has cooled considerably in recent weeks. The Rangers came into Wednesday’s game having scored 3.0 runs per game since July 21, and they totaled three in losing their first two games of August. The drought didn’t continue, as David Murphy gave Texas a 6-5 lead with a three-run homer in the fifth inning and Michael Young’s seventh-inning grand slam sealed an 11-6 win.

Less than an hour after the team capped its biggest offensive output since a 12-1 win over Cleveland on July 6, there was another reason for the Rangers to celebrate. Hall of Fame pitcher and team president Nolan Ryan’s group won a bankruptcy court auction for the team that lasted 10 hours, beating a near $600 million bid from Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban with a final offer than included $385 million in cash. Back on the diamond, Texas will get the typically unenviable task of facing Hernandez. That, however, is a challenge the Rangers have relished more than any other team. Eleven of the right-hander’s 49 career losses have come against Texas, while no other opponent has beaten him more than seven times.
