NEW SERIES
TEXAS RANGERS at WASHINGTON NATIONALS
: Nationals Park
: 7:35 p.m., Rangers RHP (5-3, 4.75) vs. Nationals RHP Tim Redding (6-3, 4.10).
: 7:10 p.m., Rangers LHP Kason Gabbard (1-3, 4.94) vs. Nationals RHP Garrett Mock (0-1, 8.31).
: 1:35 p.m., Rangers RHP Vincente Padilla (9-3, 3.73) vs. Nationals LHP John Lannan (4-8, 3.36).
: The most important angle of the weekend series might be how Mock handles an impressive Rangers lineup in his second major league start. He threw four shutout innings against the Giants earlier this month before tiring in triple-digit heat, but a good outing against Texas would go a ways toward establishing Mock’s major league credibility.
