Rangers' Justin Foscue: Hit streak reaches seven games
Rotowire
Foscue started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Seattle.
The Rangers faced Mariners left-hander Kade Anderson, which meant Foscue picked up a start. It was the fifth southpaw faced in the club's last eight games, and Foscue has done well with his recent surge in plate appearances. His single Wednesday extended a hit streak to seven contests, during which he's gone 8-for-20 with two doubles, one home run and seven RBI. Foscue is batting .271 with an .838 OPS across a career-high 218 plate appearances.
