VIDEO: Kevin Cron and Jarrod Dyson Make Diamondbacks-Rangers a Blowout of Epic Proportions
By Michael Luciano
No, you're not looking at footage from an MLB The Show game on Beginner Mode. The Arizona Diamondbacks have been pounding the Texas Rangers into oblivion at Globe Life Park. After opener Jesse Chavez gave up seven runs and couldn't get out of the first inning, Adrian Sampson couldn't do much better, giving up five more runs while only recording four outs. He gave up a long home run to top prospect Kevin Cron, which gave the Diamondbacks an 11-0 lead.

Only recorded four outs while giving 11 runs AT HOME is bad enough, but Sampson and the Rangers didn't even stop the bleeding after the Cron blast, as Jarrod Dyson poked his sixth home run of the year into the right field stands to make it a 12-0 game.

When Dyson's hitting home runs, it's time to get the 10-run rule started. Let's call this game, let every player get orange slices like in Little League, and start again tomorrow.
