The Texas Rangers need a win to salvage something out of their three-game series with the Los Angeles Angels.

The Rangers (25-28) have already lost the series and will come home from their three-city, nine-game road trip with a losing record. All that is left is to try and gather some momentum for the seven-game homestand, which starts on Monday against the Houston Astros.

The Angels (19-34) are bringing up the rear in the AL West, but they’ve managed to claim wins over Texas’ two best pitchers, Jacob deGrom and Nathan Eovadi. deGrom gave up two early home runs in his start and left after three innings. Eovaldi was excellent for seven innings but ended up on the hook for the loss.

Below is the lineup for the Rangers. You can keep up with live updates throughout the contest from the Inside the Rangers on SI staff.
