are engaged a World Series rematch for the first time in club history as a defending champion when the Arizona Diamondbacks begin a two-game series Tuesday night at Globe Life Field.The Texas Rangers celebrate after defeating the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 5 to become the 2023 World Series champions at Chase Field on Nov 1, 2023. / Rob Schumacher/The Republic / USA TODAYThis will be the teams' first meeting since the 2023 World Series, which the Rangers took in five games.
The Rangers, of course, had been in World Series before but didn’t play their opponent the following season. After losing to the San Francisco Giants in 2010, Texas waited until 2012 to face Bruce Bochy’s former squad in interleague action. The same holds true for the St. Louis Cardinals, which beat the Rangers in seven games in 2011 before the two clubs met again in 2013.
Thanks to scheduling change that ensures every teams meets every season, World Series rematches are now guaranteed. The Rangers send right-hander Dane Dunning to the hill for Tuesday’s series opener opposite Arizona righty Brandon Pfaadt . First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. CT.
