| 1977 | The Rangers trade Lenny Randle, who is suspended for the spring training altercation in which he fractured manager Frank Lucchesi's cheekbone, to the Mets for a player to be named later (infielder Rick Auerbach) and cash. New York's new skipper, Joe Torre, replaces Joe Frazier and shifts the 28-year-old second baseman to third base. |
| 1990 | Ranger hurler Nolan Ryan ties Bob Feller's major league record of throwing twelve one-hitters when he beats the White Sox, 1-0. The only hit allowed by the 43-year-old right-hander is Ron Kittle's single to right field on a check-swing in the second inning. |
| 2006 | Ranger reliever Francisco Cordero blows his third consecutive chance to save a game when the A's tie the game 4-4 in the ninth and then score two in the next frame to beat the Rangers, 6-4. The Dominican closer's fifth-blown save establishes a big-league mark for the first month of the season and overshadows the sixth straight game that the Texas outfielder Kevin Mench has homered, a grand slam that sets a team record. |
