The game hasn't been played in North Texas since 1995 and preparations started last year, long before the Rangers' World Series run.
The Texas Rangers embark on their final road trip of the first half looking to finish strong as they open a series against the AL West rival Los Angeles Angels.Texas Rangers pitcher Max Scherzer stands outside the dugout after the team's 7-1 win in a baseball game against the Washington Nationals.ARLINGTON, Texas — Things are finally starting to line up nicely for the Texas Rangers.
However, the good play hasn’t carried over into July. The Angels have lost five of six since the calendar flipped, including a revenge sweep by Oakland and losing three of three to the Cubs. In those games, they were outscored 27-13, including three shutout losses. The Angels also boast one of the worst bullpens in the Majors – third worst, in fact – with a 4.70 ERA. Opponents aren’t hitting the bullpen hard, in fact they have one of the league’s lowest batting average against. They have, however, issued the fifth most walks and are in the top ten in home runs allowed. All in all, a low-scoring offense and a bad bullpen has been a recipe for losses in Washington’s first year with the Angels.Game 91, 8:38 PM CT - RHP Jon Gray vs.
The Rangers will turn to righties Jon Gray, Max Scherzer, and Michael Lorenzen in this series against the Angels. Gray, who was enjoying a very good stretch from May into mid-June has been roughed up in three of his last four starts. His most recent poor outing was against San Diego, as Gray allowed three runs but lasted just four innings.
Lorenzen’s last outing was in the opener of the sweep of Tampa Bay, an effort in which he struggled with command but toughed it out for five shutout innings. Lorenzen has been one of the most consistent pitchers for Texas all year and the former Angel will look to continue that in his second to last start of the first half.
