Season series: Guardians lead 2-1
The defending world champ Rangers took 2 of 3 games from the Pittsburgh Pirates Monday through Wednesday, and now look for a 2nd straight series win. While Texas is 3-1 in the past 4 games, it is just 5-10 in the previous 15 contests.
The Rangers are a dismal 3-9 in the past 12 road contests, and Texas hasn’t won a road series since topping the rival Houston Astros in 2 of 3 games from July 12-14.
