Notes:
Rangers::
Err, Jeff Baker hasn't been in the lineup because of a blister on his hand..... caused by a high five! Can't grip the bat yet, and doesn't know when he can, but it should be a minor injury
Texas is frustrated, having only 4 victories in 13 games this month and only hitting .216 as a team saw the Oakland Athletics starting to run with the lead in the West. They desperately need offensive help with Kinsler sidelined and the lack of a proper replacement for ex-Ranger Josh Hamilton.
Josh Lindblom (filling in for DL'd Alexi Ogando) hasn't faced the Jays in previous years, and the only current Jays he has faced is Mark DeRosa, Melky Cabrera and Josh Thole. All of them have 2 PA against him each, and DeRosa has SSS success as he has gone 2-2 in those ABs.
Jays:
Adam Lind's 2/4 night gave him his 11th multi-hit game in his past 17 games. In these 17 games he's hit a mean .436 with 7 two-baggers and 3 big flys
The Jays are 4-1 this season against the Rangers this season (2-1 home, 2-0 away) and they need to keep it up. They are 6 games under .500, and with players such as Johnson, Morrow, Reyes coming back in the next few weeks, and Hutch, Drabek, Perez, Santos coming back after the All-Star Game, it's still possible to squeeze into the playoffs. The Jays need a big win streak, and they have 3 in a row so far coming into this game.
