KANSAS CITY, Mo. - With Jacob deGrom scratched for the first time this season, the Rangers turned to Caleb Boushley to start Wednesday’s critical game against Kansas City. It did not go well.

With the victory, the Royals (64-61) are now also 2 1/2 games ahead of the Rangers (62-64). Both are chasing the New York Yankees (67-57) for the third and final AL wild-card spot in the Major League Baseball playoffs.
