Pregame Notes: Can Rangers Avoid Winless Season Series vs. Orioles?

A Texas win on Wednesday would avoid going winless in a season series against an AL opponent for the first time in franchise history.

ARLINGTON - The Texas Rangers host the Baltimore Orioles in the final game of a three-game series Wednesday afternoon. The Rangers made no trades on Tuesday and the hangover from that lack of action extended into an 8-2 loss to Baltimore.

Texas has a chance to end a lousy six-game losing streak in Arlington, the longest-ever losing streak at Globe Life Field. A Texas win on Wednesday would avoid going winless in a season series (0-5 vs. Baltimore this season) against an AL opponent for the first time in franchise history.

On the bright side, Rangers general manager Chris Young said that starting pitching will be our “clear top priority,” per MLB. At the trade deadline, Texas made one deal: relief pitcher Matt Bush was shipped to the Milwaukee Brewers for two players.

In the AL West standings, Texas is third behind the Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners. Here’s everything you need to know.
