Oakland at Texas
Few notes for this one tonight:
Zito 5-0 lifetime vs. Texas 3.28 ERA
beat them in 3rd game this season, 6 IP 1 ER
vs. Zito
Carl Everett 1-9
Juan Gonzalez 4-11 1 2b
I. Rodriguez 2-8 1 2b
A. Rodrigues 4-20 2 HR 8 RBI 2 BB
Palmeiro 3-17 1 HR 1 RBI
Kapler 4-15
Perry(should start at 3b) 4-8(all singles)
vs. Rogers
Je. Giambi 4-8
Justice 5-11 3 2b 4 BB
Menechino 6-11
Tejada 8-17 2 HR 7 RBI 4 BB
Long 4-18
Chavez 3-12 2 2b 3 BB
Rangers won 2 of last 10 against Oakland--
20 of last 29 meetings OVER the number according to my quick estimates--
Rangers now using rookie Lewis and Seanez in setup role with Rocker as closer, bullpen very thin right now(no LH situational pitchers in BP)--not quite up to Mecir and Koch from Oak?s pen--
good luck--
