The Texas Rangers are gearing up for an exciting weekend clash against the Milwaukee Brewers, with the series commencing on Friday and concluding their six-game homestand.

Kicking off the action on Friday at 7:05 p.m. CT, the Rangers will send left-hander Andrew Heaney (9-6, 4.17) to the mound. Heaney faced a setback during his recent outing against San Francisco, departing after 1 1/3 innings due to illness. Despite this, his recent track record shows promise, with a 4-1 record and a 4.31 ERA in his last seven starts, totaling 30 strikeouts and 12 walks over 31 1/3 innings.

For Saturday’s match at 3:05 p.m., the Rangers will rely on right-hander Dane Dunning (9-4, 3.10). Dunning’s strong performance has been evident in his past outings, including a career-high 12 strikeouts in a seven-inning appearance against San Francisco.

Although his record doesn’t fully reflect his efforts, with a 1-3 standing and a 4.14 ERA in his last seven games, Dunning remains a valuable asset with 42 strikeouts and 12 walks across 41 1/3 innings.

Closing the series on Sunday at 1:35 p.m. will be the seasoned right-hander Max Scherzer (12-4, 3.67). Scherzer has seamlessly transitioned into the Rangers’ rotation, boasting an impressive 3-0 record since joining the team. His recent performance against the Los Angeles Angels showcased his dominance, marked by 11 strikeouts and a season-high 1.80 ERA in three starts spanning 20 innings.

On the opposing side, the Milwaukee Brewers will counter with right-hander Brandon Woodruff (2-1, 1.99) on Friday, who has returned from an injury hiatus to make a significant impact. Following suit, right-hander Freddy Peralta (9-8, 4.08) will take the mound on Saturday, riding the momentum of three consecutive victories and an impressive 13-strikeout display against Colorado.

Closing out the series for the Brewers on Sunday will be right-hander Adrian Houser (4-4, 4.43), who aims to rebound after a recent loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers and improve upon his performance with 38 strikeouts and 12 walks over his last seven starts.

With an array of skilled pitchers set to showcase their talents, this weekend’s series between the Texas Rangers and the Milwaukee Brewers promises exhilarating matchups and intense competition on the field.
