The loss to the New York Yankees on Monday night was only the fourth of the season for the Texas Rangers, which still have the league's best record along with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Texas faces the Yankees again today in the second of the three-game series. One of Evan Grant's observations from the loss to the Yankees was that three of the losses have come when the opponent started a former Cy Young winner; the other when the opponent merely had a former ERA champion on the mound.
Tuesday should be an extremely interesting day at the Ballpark, as Yu Darvish takes on Hiroki Kuroda in an all-Japanese matchup sure to excite the throng of Japanese reporters who have been covering Darvish all season.
Here is a look at the game schedule and television information:
Date: Tuesday, April 24, 7:05 p.m. CDT
