The Texas Rangers are looking to take the rubber match of their series in San Diego tonight, and will have Joey Gallo starting in left field.
This is something of a surprise...I had expected that Gallo would be used primarily as a pinch hitting option, and wouldn't start unless there were an injury to someone. But Gallo is starting tonight in place of Will Venable in left.
The lineup:
DeShields -- CF
Choo -- RF
Prince -- 1B
Beltre -- 3B
Odor -- 2B
Elvis -- SS
Gallo -- LF
Gimenez -- C
Hamels -- P
Ian Kennedy pitches for the Padres.
