The Texas Rangers are gearing up for interleague play as they travel to face the Dodgers for two games before hosting Colorado.
It's also a rare week for Texas because it gets two off days – Monday and Thursday.
Texas has one of the best records since interleague play began in 1997. The Rangers are 203-173 with that .540 winning percentage only topped by five teams – Red Sox (.587), Yankees (.585), Angels (.554), White Sox (.543) and Tigers (.542).
After this week, the Rangers have 15 interleague games against the NL West the rest of the season: vs. San Diego (June 25-27), at Arizona (July 30-31), vs. Arizona (Aug. 13-14), at San Francisco (Aug. 24-26), vs. Los Angeles (Aug. 28-29) and at San Diego (Sept. 14-16).
