Battle of Surprise 2026 Game Thread: Royals at Rangers
When final we noticed the Texas Rangers they had been failing to run it again for a second yr in a row. Now, having shed a big share of the parents who received them a World Series — together with future Hall of Fame supervisor — new supervisor Skip Schumaker and the Rangers start their quest to return to October with their annual first spring matchup towards their Surprise roommates from KC.
RHP Nathan Eovaldi will take the bump first for Texas reverse RHP Stephen Kolek for the Kansas City Royals. This will mark the primary time in 4 years that Daniel Lynch will not be the primary pitcher that the Rangers will see.
