The Rangers' numbers are still up, despite losing two out of three road games against the arch rival Angels over the weekend.
Two of the three games were the most-watched TV attractions in D-FW, with each cracking the 200,000 viewers barrier.
Friday's Rangers-Angels faceoff on TXA 21 had 237,094 viewers, with CBS11's Wheel of Fortune coming in second (162,578 viewers).
Saturday's game averaged 243,868 viewers on Fox Sports Southwest, beating TNT's Game 4 of the Spurs-Thunder Western Conference finals (182,901 viewers).
Sunday afternoon's finale -- the only game Texas won -- drew 264,190 viewers on FSS, falling short of the crowd for that night's overtime Game 4 of the Boston-Miami Eastern Conference finals on ESPN (298,070 viewers).
Sunday night's Game of Thrones Season 2 finale on HBO had 64,741 viewers.
In Friday's local news derby results, CBS11 won at 10 p.m. in total viewers while WFAA8 ran first with 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming.
Fox4 swept the 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. competitions in both measurements while NBC5 ran the table at 6 p.m.
