Josh Jung and Marcus Semien homered to send the Rangers past the Kansas City Royals 4-0 at Kauffman Stadium. Jung started things off with a three-run blast in the top of the first before Semien hit his third homer of the year with a solo shot in the third inning. Jacob deGrom started for Texas and tossed four hitless innings with five strikeouts before exiting with a sore wrist. Dane Dunning earned the win on the mound with four-and-a-third scoreless innings. The Rangers are atop the AL Central at 10-and-6. Right-hander Nathan Eovaldi will start on the hill against the Royals tonight.
