<b>Set-up </b>
</p>
<p>
In the 2nd game of this series yesterday the Rangers beat the Padres 6-3. The Rangers scored five runs in the 6th inning, and they scored their six runs on nine hits, and the Padres scored three runs on eight hits.
</p>
<p>
After losing two in a row, the Rangers have won the first two games of this series, and they go for the sweep today. While the pitching has been the main issue for Texas this season, they have only given up three runs in this series giving up three in their last game after a shutout win in Game 1. However, the Rangers are well out of the playoff race in the basement of the AL West 20 games under .500.
</p>
<p>
The Padres had won three in a row before losing the first two games of this series. They are also out of the playoff picture in the last place in the NL West.
</p>
<p>
This season the Rangers rank 10th in runs scored and 28th in team ERA, and the Padres rank 28th in runs scored and 21st in team ERA.

<p>
<b>Head-To-Head </b>
</p>
<p>
This season the Rangers have won three of five games against the Padres. In the first series between these teams in Late June in Texas, the Rangers took two of three games from the Padres. Overall, the Rangers have won seven of their last eight games facing the Padres and have won five of their last six games against them in San Diego.

<h2>
Pitching Match-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Texas:</b> Mike Minor (12-7 4.19 ERA)<br />
<b>San Diego:</b> Jacob Nix (2-3 6.00 ERA)
</p>
<p></p>
<p>
In Minor's last start he was pretty solid giving up one earned run on six hits in six innings in a 5-2 win over the L.A. Angels. The Rangers have won six of his last seven starts, including his previous two, and he has not allowed more than two earned runs in his last four starts. Minor's best start of the season was in late June at home against the Padres where he tossed seven scoreless innings and only allowed one hit in a 5-2 Rangers win.
</p>
<p>
In six career appearances, including five starts, against San Diego Minor is 2-3 with an ERA of 4.31. The Rangers have won his last four road starts, and they have won seven of his previous eight starts against a team with a losing record.
</p>
<p>
In Nix's last start he was lit up for six earned runs on seven hits in only four innings, but the lineup bailed him out in a 7-6 win over the Cincinnati Reds. While the Padres have won two of his last three starts, he has given up 11 earned runs in his previous two starts where he has totaled 10 innings. Nix is a rookie, and this will be his first career appearance against the Rangers.
