After taking two of three in Kansas City, the Yankees get to face another last-place team as they travel to Texas.
The Last Time They Met
The Yankees took two of three from the Rangers in Texas on September 8-10. Some notes from that series:
- Masahiro Tanaka and the Yankees coughed up a 5-1 lead in the series opener, losing handily, 11-5. Tommy Kahnle and Caleb Smith struggled in relief.
- Luis Severino dazzled in Game 2 but left trailing 1-0. However, the Yankees rallied for three runs in the final two innings for a narrow 3-1 win.
