Pregame Notes: Rangers Face Skid, Orioles

Stats, probable lineups, injury updates and notes for Tuesday's matchup between Texas and the Baltimore Orioles at Globe Life Field.

ARLINGTON - The Texas Rangers play host to the Baltimore Orioles in the second game of a three-game series Tuesday night. Texas is looking to right a forgettable Monday night 7-2 loss to the Orioles in which starting pitcher Jon Gray left the game with injury.

The Rangers have a chance to end a lousy five-game losing streak in Arlington, tied for the longest-ever losing streak at Globe Life Field. Texas is 21-27 at home this season.

On the bright side, the Rangers got Corey Seager back at the plate on Monday night. Seager, the Rangers July player of the month, missed three games in Anaheim with a lower left leg contusion. He was the designated hitter and was one of two Rangers to hit a solo home run on Monday. Nick Solak was the other. 

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