The Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners both are in need of a late-season push, and it was the former that delivered the opening salvo in the four-game set. The Rangers are two games behind Minnesota for the American League’s second wild-card spot entering Tuesday’s contest against the visiting Mariners after posting a 5-3 victory in the series opener.
Texas received a solo homer from Delino DeShields and two-run doubles from Shin-Soo Choo and Nomar Mazara in Monday’s key triumph. The painful defeat was Seattle’s fifth in seven contests as it fell 3 1/2 games behind the Twins. Mitch Haniger went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer for the Mariners and has recorded seven multi-hit efforts over his last 11 games. Mazara has collected three homers and eight RBIs this month and is seven shy of his first 100-RBI season.
Gonzales will be making his first appearance since striking out five and giving up two hits in four scoreless innings of relief against Oakland on Sept. 2. The 25-year-old was torched by Baltimore for five runs and eight hits over 3 1/3 frames in his last start on Aug. 28. Gonzales owns a 5.79 ERA over 65 1/3 career innings with St. Louis and Seattle.
Gonzalez recently was acquired from the Chicago White Sox and had a rocky first start with the Rangers. The 33-year-old gave up four runs and four hits – two homers – in three innings of a no-decision against Atlanta. Gonzalez is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in four career starts against Seattle and has experienced success retiring Robinson Cano (5-for-30, one homer).
WALK-OFFS
1. Rangers INF Joey Gallo is hitless in seven at-bats and buried in a nine-game homerless drought.
2. Seattle CF Jarrod Dyson (groin) didn’t travel with the team and will undergo season-ending injury.
3. Texas 2B Rougned Odor (ankle), who played Monday despite coming up ailing the day before, hasn’t missed a game this season.
