Choo sits amid on-base streak with Beltre at DH

For the second time in this series against the Red Sox, Rangers All-Star Shin-Soo Choo was absent from the starting lineup. But it wasn’t because left-hander Chris Sale was pitching, Texas manager Jeff Banister said. “It’s been consistent of how we’ve done, as far as structure of the lineup with [Adrian Beltre] in the DH slot,” Banister said.
