Notes:
Rangers::
Adrian Beltre is HOT. Beltre, who will probably DH the series because of the turf, is batting .435/.458/.783 (20-46) with 4 homers and 8 RBIs on his 11 game hit streak. Last year Beltre hit .387 with a homer against the Jays for a Texas team that took 6 of 9 meetings last year
The Rangers have not lost more than 3 straight, making them the 3rd team so far to do so along with the Red Sox and Cardinals
With Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland heading to the 15 day DL, Chris McGuiness will make his MLB debut at first base after a promotion from AAA Round Rock Express
Jays:
The Jays have had one run decisions in 7 of the past 10 games. Their record? A sad 1-6
Encarnacion can finally fall back to his 1B/DH position. The slugger played 3B to make room for Lind for interleague play, making 2 errors there giving him 114 in 669 games. He did however go 10/30 (.333) in that span with three homers
The Jays are 9-11 in series opening games
