The Rangers fell flat in the opener of this inter-league series, as San Diego scored the 3-2 victory. Texas has won 8 of their last 10 games and playing good ball. Minor will make his 15th start of the season. He has posted quality starts in each of his last three outings and is seeking four consecutive quality starts for the first time since he had six in a row, Aug 12-Sept. 8, 2014 with Atlanta. Minor has gone 1-0 with a 2.84 ERA over his past three starts to lower his ERA from a season high 5.76 to 5.06. He will be working on regular four days' rest after earning the win in Rangers' 8-1 victory on Friday at Minnesota. He gave up one run on three hits over six innings in that game. For a number of different reasons though, I think Texas will bounce back on Wednesday.
