The Texas Rangers enter this game looking to snap a five-game losing streak after taking an 11-5 beating here at the K on Tuesday. I think the visitors will bounce back tonight with left-hander Mike Minor (3-3, 2.68 ERA) on the mound. Minor has more than two runs just twice through his last seven starts with three scoreless outings in that span.

The Royals counter with Jorge Lopez (0-4, 6.07 ERA) who has had a poor start to the season. He has allowed at least four runs in each of his last five outings and was tagged with six runs (three homers) in just 2 1/3 innings of a 9-0 loss at Houston last time out.

Royals are 9-24 in their last 33 games vs. a left-handed starter. Rangers are 7-2 in the last 9 meetings in Kansas City.

10* play on Texas Rangers.
