 The Rangers enter this series with the majors' longest-active win streak at five games. Texas starting pitching is 5-0 with a 1.73 ERA over the win streak -- the last time that Texas starting pitching went 5-0 with a sub-2.00 ERA over a five-game span was seven years ago in June 2012.

 Tampa Bay completed a 10-game road trip against the Yankees, A's and Twins with a 3-7 record. Based on current records, Tampa Bay has played the most difficult schedule of any team in MLB in June, with its opponents combining for a .543 winning percentage.

 After recording a 10.9 BB% in 2018, Lance Lynn has lowered his walk rate to 5.9 percent in 2019. Among pitchers with 75+ IP in both seasons, Lynn's improvement in his walk rate is the largest in the majors.

 Over his career, Joey Gallo has averaged a home run every 11.79 at-bats -- among players with at least 1000 career at-bats, Gallo's AB/HR ratio ranks third all-time behind Mark McGwire (10.61) and Babe Ruth (11.76).

 Tampa Bay beat Minnesota yesterday, 5-2 in 18 innings. The Rays tied the game at 2 in the second inning, and then neither team scored until the top of the 18th. It was the most innings between runs in an AL game since September 1, 1906 (Philadelphia A's, 4-1 over Boston Americans in 24 innings).

 Tommy Pham was the only Ray with multiple hits yesterday, going 2-for-8 with two singles. The rest of Tampa Bay combined to bat 6-for-53 (.113), with one extra-base hit and 16 strikeouts.
