 Minnesota won two of three over Texas in early July, scoring 22 combined runs in winning the first two of the series before scoring one in a loss. The Twins had 13 extra-base hits in the first game of that series -- only the Red Sox have had more in a game this season (14 on July 25).

 The Rangers lost two of three to the Blue Jays and have lost three consecutive series, tied with the Orioles and Rockies for the longest active series losing streak. The Rangers have scored one or no runs in five of their nine games played over this stretch, with the team hitting .179.

 Minnesota split a two-game set with Milwaukee and has now gone three straight series without a series win. This is only the second three-series span without a win for Minnesota this season, with the other streak spanning July 16-24.

 Danny Santana is hitting .224 in August with a .250 OBP -- both would be his lowest in a month this season, but he still leads the Rangers in runs (eight) and RBI (seven) in the month. He's had two straight games with multiple extra-base hits entering this series.

 Eddie Rosario has scored 13 runs in August, tied for fifth in the American League and his most in any month since May (19). By homering in his last game, he has 79 RBI, breaking his career-high 78 in 2017. He's hit safely in 19 of 21 career games against the Rangers.

 In 30 games against his own division (AL Central), Jonathan Schoop is hitting .182 with one home run. In 23 games against the AL West, Schoop is hitting .322 with a 1.003 OPS and seven home runs.

The Texas Rangers have allowed 38 runs in their last four games, including 10 in the first four innings on Thursday night in an eventual 13-6 loss to the American League Central-leading Minnesota Twins in the opener of their four-game series in Arlington, Texas.
The good news for Chris Woodward's club is that All-Star left-hander Mike Minor (11-6, 2.90 ERA) will be on the mound for Game 2. He will be opposed by right-hander Jake Odorizzi (13-5, 3.44) in what has the makings of a pitcher's duel.

Minor looks to stop Rangers' bleeding vs. Twins

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)  The Minnesota Twins did what they do better than any other major league team this season - hit home runs - but their 4-3 win over the Texas Rangers on Friday night turned on a fly ball that barely cleared the infield.
Max Kepler hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning after Miguel Sano's popup to shallow right field was dropped by Rougned Odor and Jonathan Schoop hit a two-run homer in the sixth to erase a one-run deficit for the Twins, who lead in the AL Central by 1 1/2 games over the Cleveland Indians.
