• The Rangers are 28-22 all-time on Mother's Day, winning eight of the last 12, including a 10-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners on May 9, 2021. Sunday's Game 1 starter Dane Dunning earned the win.
• The Rangers are 15-8 on Mother's Day since 1997, and are 11-9 all-time on the road.
• Sunday will be the third time the Rangers have had a doubleheader on Mother's Day. They split with the Blue Jays in Toronto on May 13, 1979 and swept the Yankees at home on May 11, 1986.
• The Rangers are 3-1 all-time on Mother's Day against the Yankees. All previous meetings between the two clubs on this day were in Arlington. Sunday is the first time in the Bronx.
