RED LEGS travel down to the streaking RANGERS for a 3-Piece...TEXAS 1st in AL West...CINCY 3rd in rugged NL Central...WEEKEND BENDERS Series 3

The Cincinnati Reds can't wait to get back to the Great American Ballpark as they have nothing less than average at best on their longest Motel Trip of 2013. They arrive in Arlington, Texas having lost two straight to the Swingin' A's in Oakland and three pout of four prior to that to the Arizona D-Backs. The Rangers in turn come off of taking two out of three in the Bronx and prior to that an impressive sweep from the #1 team in the Show in their house the Redbirds of the Lou.
