The Texas Rangers look to stay in control atop the AL West standings when they resume their weekend series with the Seattle Mariners on Saturday night at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
After beating the Mariners in the first game on Friday night, the Rangers have won three of their last four games to maintain a three game lead over the Oakland Athletics in the AL West.
The Rangers expect to start right-hander Scott Feldman (6-11, 4.97 ERA) on the mound. Feldman has failed to earn a win in his last six starts, but is coming off of a no decision against Kansas City when he gave up six hits and three runs in six and a one-third innings.
Seattle is slated to start left-hander Jason Vargas (14-10, 3.85 ERA) for the third time against the Rangers this season. Vargas is 1-1 in his last two starts against Texas, winning his last start back on May 29th in a 10-3 Seattle win.
The game is scheduled to start at 7:05 p.m CT and will be televised on KTXA.
