Rangers Notes

When Martin Pérez threw his complete-game shutout on Friday against Houston, he had gone eight years and 27 days between complete game shutouts, with the previous one coming against Oakland on April 23, 2014. It’s the longest span between shutouts by a pitcher in Rangers history, per Elias Sports Bureau. The last pitcher to go that long was Rich Hill, who did it with two different teams. He threw one with the Chicago Cubs against Cincinnati on Sept. 16, 2006, and then did it again with Boston against Baltimore on Sept. 25, 2015.
