The Texas Rangers are linked to closers from the St. Louis Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Adolis Garcia's name has been rumored.

The Los Angeles Angels will try to accomplish something they haven't done in over a month when they face the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night in Anaheim, Calif.

Just this past month, the Rangers broke out their red hats for the first time this year vs. the Mariners. The red hats were the club’s only hats for its first three playoff seasons and a regular part of the rotation in the 2010-11 World Series runs.

Josh Smith hit a two-run home run, Wyatt Langford had a bases-clearing double and the surging Texas Rangers piled up eight runs in the first three innings in an 8-1 victory over the struggling Atlanta Braves on Sunday.

The Texas Rangers are surging back into the AL Wild Card race but need to make a trade to make a postseason run.

Adding Helsley to the mix would give Texas a true closer for the stretch run of the season. Without a closer, their bullpen is a bit vulnerable. Texas also has some solid prospects to spare if they do decide to trade for the All-Star closer. St. Louis will have a high asking price.
