GAME PREVIEW: Texas Rangers vs. Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday

The Texas Rangers (63-84) continue their three-game series with the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night at Globe Life Field.

Texas enters Wednesday’s game with 15 games remaining on the schedule, with nine of them at home. Interim manager Tony Beasley has a record of 12-21 going into the game.

Texas lost to Los Angeles 5-2 on Tuesday, the result of a three-run sixth inning by the Angels off Rangers relievers Dennis Santana and John King.

The Angels (65-83) and the Rangers will see each other one more time this season when the Rangers made a road trip out west next week.

The set with the Angels is part of a six-game homestand for Texas, as the Rangers host Cleveland on Friday through Sunday. That will be the final alumni weekend of the season and be capped by a Sunday ceremony honoring Tom Grieve.

Here is a preview of tonight’s game.
