After a 2-2 showing in CHARM City vs the O's the RANGERS head to the MOTOR City to face the AL Central leading TIGERS..."WEEKEND BENDERS" AL's Best Edition #RANGERSbiz #TIGERSbiz

The Texas Rangers road trip started off with two straight wins vs the O's and they ended up splitting the four game set. The Rangers are a game back of the Swingin' Athletics in the West. The Tigers struggled losing two versus the Bottom Feeding Pale Hose of Chi City. They are only 2 1/2 games up on the 2nd place in the AL Central Tribe. Going into the All-Star Break both teams would love to have a few more W's behind them.

RANGERS @ TIGERS Weekend Benders 3-Piece from COMERICA

July 12, 2013 7:08pm ET
TEX Grimm (7-6) vs DET Fister (6-5)

July 13, 2013 7:15pm ET
TEX Holland (7-4) vs DET Scherzer (13-0)*

July 14, 2013 1:08pm ET
TEX Perez (3-1) vs DET Verlander (9-6)*

The 5-Star Arms in the rotation for both will be on Display and like only Skip Jim Leyland can of the Tigers. Both Verlander and Scherzer will most likely be available for Inning if that at the All-Star game. That's the way the rotation worked out and with an extended break they get a little more rest. Meanwhile the Rangers Yu Darvish has back Issues and went on the D.L. as he was due to pitch in yesterday's game at Camden Yards.
