 St. Louis won two of three in its only ever road series against Texas in June 2004, but the teams have met for two series since (in 2013 and 2016, both in St. Louis), and the Rangers swept both series.

 Texas collected 21 hits against Kansas City on Thursday, tied for the most hits by any MLB team in a game this season. The last time the Rangers had 21 hits in a game was April 17, 2012. Three different Rangers had four-hit games, the only time that's been done in MLB this season.

 St. Louis scored 14 against Atlanta on Tuesday before combining for two runs over the next two games of the series. St. Louis is one of four teams to have scored 14+ runs multiple times in May, but the Cardinals have also scored one or no runs seven times in May, most in MLB.

 In his first two games of 2019, Willie Calhoun has homered in both while collecting six hits, four runs and five RBI. The only other Texas Ranger to ever have six hits and four runs in his first two games of a season was Gabe Kapler in 2000.

 Matt Carpenter homered last time out, and his 1.014 career OPS in interleague games ranks second among active players (Mike Trout, 1.020; minimum 500 PA). The TCU product and Texas native has a career .556/.692/.833 slash line in six games against the Texas Rangers.

 Marcell Ozuna hit his 13th home run of the season on Thursday, eight of which have come on the road. Only one National Leaguer has more home runs in road games this season (Nolan Arenado, nine). Ozuna has a .936 OPS on the road this season and a .736 OPS at home.

The Texas Rangers were able to stay red-hot Friday night even with an "opener" serving as the starting pitcher.
On Saturday afternoon, the St. Louis Cardinals are going to look to the least-proven member of their rotation to stop a skid that threatens to erase the margin of error they built in April.

Rangers again go with 'opener' vs. Cardinals

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)  Matt Carpenter almost homered and almost got picked off in the same decisive inning that pushed the St. Louis Cardinals to their first victory over Texas since the 2011 World Series.
Carpenter was initially given a two-run homer in the fifth inning after his opposite-field shot that hit the wide pad atop the 14-foot wall in left field, bounced up and came back down into the field of play. That was changed to an RBI double on replay review after the Rangers challenged the call, but still ignited a five-run outburst.
