 Texas leads the all-time series with Arizona, 24-19, after the teams split a two-game set in July in Arlington. The Diamondbacks are 9-9 in interleague play this year, compared to 11-25 versus NL opponents.

 Each of the Diamondbacks' last 25 games has been decided by four or fewer runs. That's the longest such streak in MLB this year and the longest in franchise history.

 The Rangers' 19-35 (.352) record is the worst in the American League. Since the franchise moved to Texas in 1972, they've finished with the AL's worst record three times: in 1972, 1973 and 2014.

 Among MLB players all-time with at least 1500 plate appearances, Joey Gallo has the third-best home run rate at one every 12.4 at-bats (Mark McGwire, every 10.6 AB; Babe Ruth, every 11.8 AB). Gallo also has the worst strikeout rate using the same minimum, at one every 2.6 plate appearances.

 Over his last seven starts of 2019 with the Brewers, Jordan Lyles was 5-0 with a 1.91 ERA and .201 opponent batting average. In his seven starts with Texas this year, Lyles is 1-5 with a 7.82 ERA and .277 opponent average.

 Kole Calhoun earned NL Player of the Week honors after going 11-for-24 (.458) with six homers and 12 RBI in six games last week, all on the road. He's the third Arizona player all-time to have at least six HR and 12 RBI over a span of six team games, joining Reggie Sanders (2001) and J.D. Martinez (2017).

The Arizona Diamondbacks aren't part of the National League playoff chase but that isn't going to stop manager Torey Lovullo from enjoying a well-played ballgame.
The Diamondbacks were solid in all areas in the opener of the two-game slate with Texas and look to complete a sweep of the Rangers on Wednesday night in Phoenix.

Diamondbacks looking for another all-around effort against Rangers

PHOENIX (AP)  Rookie Wyatt Mathisen hit his first two career homers, fellow rookie Daulton Varsho knocked in the go-ahead run with a triple, and the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied for a 7-3 victory over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night.
The Diamondbacks trailed 3-1 going into the sixth but rallied for a six-run inning off Rangers pitchers Wes Benjamin, Nick Goody and Brett Martin. Arizona sent 10 batters to the plate. Carson Kelly had a game-tying, two-run single, Varsho followed with the go-ahead triple, and then Mathisen and Tim Locastro hit back-to-back homers to push the lead to 7-3.
