Worth noting

• Adrian Beltre was the unanimous selection as the club's Player of the Month in July. He led the AL during the month with nine home runs. He hit .369 with 19 RBIs in 26 games. He has received the award in four of the last six months dating back to last season.

• The Rangers became just the fifth team in Major League history with three consecutive walk-off home runs. It hasn't occurred since June 26-29, 2004, for the Tigers. It's just the second time this feat occurred in a three-game series sweep, along with the 1999 D-backs.

• The Rangers begin a three-game series with the A's Friday in Oakland. The A's will send out Tommy Milone, Jarrod Parker and A.J. Griffin during the series. The Rangers will counter with Alexi Ogando, Matt Garza and Derek Holland.
