The Texas Ranger Start a Weekend Series Against the LA Angels Friday

The Texas Rangers are looking to bounce back from being swept by the Oakland Athletics earlier this week in three straight games.  They will get their chance to get back in the win column this weekend though as they head to California to take on the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on Friday.  "They are a tough team, always have been," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "Mike Scioscia manages those guys so they'll be ready to play. They have a healthy Albert and their starting pitching is holding things together. It should be a good series because they are always tough."  Colby Lewis will be on the mound for Texas opposite LA starter Hector Santiago.  First pitch for Friday's game is set for 9:05pm from Angel Stadium of Anaheim and can be seen on FOX Sports SW.
