Who's supposed to replace Soto. Isn't Chirinos gone too? Excuse me if I have that wrong, I've just been too busy to follow them lately.

They are brining somebody up from the minors they want to look at.

Mikolas sharp as Rangers collect 16th shutout
Telis earns praise for calling four-hitter in big league debut

By T.R. Sullivan / MLB.com

SEATTLE -- In a season of despair, the Rangers' pitchers are carving out their own esoteric spot in Major League history.

The Rangers have thrown 16 shutouts this season despite having a team ERA of 4.71. That's the most shutouts in a season in Major League history by a team with an ERA of 4.50 of higher.

That piece of trivia is brought to you by pitcher Miles Mikolas and rookie catcher Tomas Telis as those two led the way in the latest shutout, the Rangers' 2-0 victory over the Mariners on Monday night.

Mikolas ended with a career-high eight innings in his 10th Major League start before Neftali Feliz closed it out in the ninth. Telis -- making his Major League debut -- was the one calling pitches and seemed in control right up to the end, when he called the changeup that Robinson Cano flied to center for the final out.

"It was fun," Mikolas said. "I told [Telis] before the game, let's just go out and have fun. I'm a rookie too and I've never pitched against this team. We were both in the same boat, so we sort of bonded over that. I think I only shook him off a handful of times. We were definitely on the same page most of the game."

Wish I had time to go to a game. I'm sure I could pick up some cheap tickets about now. I would still enjoy going out there.

The Rangers are playing now and the score is 9 - 1 Texas. What prompted the offense to show up today?
