As if getting roughed up by the Oakland Athletics 12-1 in a series opening game Monday wasn't bad enough, the Texas Rangers continue the series Tuesday night with Derek Holland on the mound.
Texas (32-23) has posted the second-worst ERA in its last six games with a 7.94 mark - better than only Houston. It began with last Tuesday's 10-3 loss to Seattle. Holland (4-4, 5.11 ERA) gave up eight runs when he took the mound the next night and gave up eight runs.
Travis Blackley (3.37 ERA) will start for Oakland looking for his first win of the season.
Here is a look at the game schedule:
Date/Time: Tuesday, June 5, 9:05 p.m. CT
