Rangers in Good Shape to Gain Ground

As the Texas Rangers get ready to take the field against the Washington Nationals at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, they are in good shape to get back into first place in the American League West Division.

The division-leading Houston Astros have lost three straight games and are in danger of losing a fourth straight. The Astros host the Los Angeles Angels at Daikin Park in Houston on Wednesday night.

Kumar Rocker gets the starting nod for the Rangers on Wednesday night. A win and an Astros loss can put things really tight atop the AL West.
