Sonny Gray starts for Boston with a 17-5 record, 2.76 ERA and 1.17 WHIP as the Red Sox face Texas in a late-season game with postseason implications.
Gray has been especially sharp lately, allowing three earned runs over 13 innings this month after holding the Rangers to one run across six innings in their only meeting.
Boston has already clinched a playoff berth and sits second in the Wild Card, leaning on a club that is 12 games over .500 and notably stronger on the road.
Texas enters on a four-game winning streak, tied with Houston for the AL West lead and one game behind the White Sox for the final Wild Card spot.
The Rangers counter with Tyler Alexander, who has a 3.38 ERA over 66.2 innings, but a bullpen carrying a 4.27 ERA could loom as the game's biggest vulnerability.
