Rougned Odor celebrated a second-inning home run hard against the Blue Jays in Texas's win over Toronto. But the rivalry between the two teams stemming from the 2015 ALDS has all but fizzled out. (ShiDavidi

There’s little of that animosity left, the Rangers now a club that can hit but doesn’t pitch and the Blue Jays a team that can pitch but not hit, although they didn’t do much of either during a 1-5 road trip, capped by Sunday’s 10-2 drubbing.

Buchholz worked his command-and-control game through a quick first but went Joey Gallo single, Asdrubal Cabrera double, Odor homer in the second. After Eric Sogard – who remains the most consistent Blue Jays hitter since his promotion from triple-A Buffalo on April 16 – hit a solo shot in the top of the third, Buchholz surrendered a three-run shot in the bottom half as the Rangers opened up a big edge.

Manager Charlie Montoyo, coping with a rotation that covered only 25.2 of the club’s 52 innings on the road trip, was forced to ride out Buchholz longer than he ideally would have liked, getting four innings and a 7-1 deficit from the right-hander.
