Texas Rangers vs. New York Mets: Preview, How To Watch, Listen, Stream

The Texas Rangers return for a six-game homestand hoping to get their offense going after being swept in Seattle.

The Texas Rangers look like they’re in desperation mode as they return home to take on the New York Mets in a three-game series at Globe Life Field that starts on Monday.

The plane trip home from Seattle was likely an introspective one for the Rangers (33-38), who went into Seattle having won two out of three against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Texas lost all three to Seattle and fell 8.5 games back of the Mariners in the AL West.

The race isn’t over, but the same offensive issues that have dogged the Rangers for more than a month cropped up again in Seattle.

Texas could be getting a reinforcement in that area soon, as injured third baseman Josh Jung began an injury rehab assignment with the Round Rock Express on Sunday. He’s missed the past two months with a fractured wrist.

Plus, there’s a good chance pitcher Max Scherzer returns sometime this weekend. He threw a rehab game on Saturday for Round Rock, and assuming no setbacks, Rangers manager Bruce Bochy expects to see the Cy Young winner on the mound at Globe Life Field sometime this week.

The Mets (33-37) enter the week with a similar record to the Rangers and, while they are further behind in the NL East race, they are still a factor in the NL Wild Card race. The Mets, like the Rangers, have something to play for.

Here is the preview for the game, with probable pitchers, how to watch, listen and more.
