Pregame Notes: Rangers Open Homestand with Twins
After a less-than-stellar road trip, the Texas Rangers return to Arlington hoping to string a few wins together going into the All-Star break. The Rangers were swept earlier this week at Baltimore Orioles, losing all three games by one run to close out a 3-6 trek.
The Minnesota Twins visit Globe Life Field to open up a 10-game homestand leading into the Midseason Classic. Texas is just 17-20 at home and 1-5 in July.
The Rangers are third in the American League West and entered Friday six games back of the AL's final Wild Card spot.
