Texas Rangers @ Minnesota Twins

This series contains two American League division leaders. Texas leads the American League West and Minnesota leads the American League Central. The Rangers are at 72 wins and 54 losses, and the Twins are at 65 wins and 62 losses. Texas leads the Houston Astros by one game and the Seattle Mariners by a game and a half in a tight American League West. Meanwhile, the Twins lead the second place Cleveland Guardians by four and a half games.

Offensively, the Rangers are led by outfielder Adolis Garcia of Ciego De Avila, Cuba and shortstop Marcus Semien of San Francisco, California. Garcia is second in the American League with 93 runs batted in, while Semien is second in the American League with 146 hits. The American League RBI leader is Houston Astros right fielder Kyle Tucker of Tampa, Florida, who has 95 runs batted in. The American League hit leader is Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichettte, who has 149 hits.

On the mound, the Twins are led by starting pitcher Pablo Lopez of Cabimas, Venezuela. Lopez, who gets the start on Thursday, is second in the American League in strikeouts with 187. He is only behind Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman of Centennial, Colorado, who has 195 strikeouts.
