 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.

Martin Perez spent seven seasons pitching in Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas, but Sunday afternoon will mark the first time the left-hander makes a start for the visiting side as the Minnesota Twins look to complete a four-game sweep of the Texas Rangers.
Perez (8-5, 4.57 ERA) signed as an undrafted free agent with Texas in 2007 and went 43-49 with a 4.63 ERA with the Rangers, including a 10-6 mark with a 3.62 ERA in 2013 when he finished sixth in American League Rookie of the Year voting. But Texas let him leave after a 2018 season in which he went just 2-7 with a 6.22 ERA in 22 appearances, including 15 starts.
