Texas Rangers rookie Kumar Rocker kept a scoreless start intact by working through an eventful fifth inning that included downing three small bottles of pickle juice, the last of which resulted in a mound visit charged to a ball boy.

Kumar Rocker’s return to the Texas Rangers’ rotation came with a quality start, cramps and lots of pickle juice.

The baseball journey of top Texas Rangers prospect Kumar Rocker has been extraordinary and well documented. The fireballer finds himself making two starts this week, but they will be in Round Rock for the Express and not for the Rangers.
