Carlos Frias (4-3, 3.86) vs. Yovani Gallardo (5-6, 3.45).
The above film shows how things can quickly turn bad for a shaky Gallardo start. Things should be interesting for the Dodgers, who haven't lost an interleague game this year (the Rangers are 1-1 interleague), and we face former Brewer Gallardo, who is 2-4 with a 5.23 ERA against us lifetime but has not seen us since he joined Texas this year.
The Dodgers had a tough time getting off the ground after the San Diego series, despite Sunday's late- and extra-inning heroics. Can we launch better from the plate at the Ballpark at Arlington Globe Life Park (what the hell is that?)?

Nah, don't use Guerrero at DH or anything.
Mattingly only wants to use him for PH, not DH, which makes perfect sense.
Oh, and Turner was great at 1B on Saturday, so great idea there.
Ah yes, the ol' pinch-hitter in am American League park gambit.
Bet he double-switches too.
"an"
Muttingly just outsmarted himself...if that's possible. aye.
Why is Kendrick in the 4 spot?
@Dusty - that's right, Callaspo should be hitting clean up!
Callaspo K and Rollins CS. Great.
Then Pederson pops out to second.
0-0 through 2.5
Wait, is this a real name? Robinson Chirinos?
Puig mad that Pederson takes a fly ball in front of him. Yikes.
Man on third with two out, and Frias gets Gallo to ground to Turner. 0-0 through 3
0-0 through 4, still two hits for each team
Ethier with a rally-killing GIDP
And, A-Gon GIDPs to end the sixth.
Frias gies up a leadoff walk to start the bottom of the sixth. Not good.
If Callaspo had taken third as he should have (on a long fly ball to right), we may have gotten a run (or at least a different AB from A-Gon)
And if Woody had gone to the police, this would never have happened.
Frias with another walk. Two on, no out. Not good.
Frias gives up two quick hits and it's 2-0 Texas. None out. Pull him.
Wow, Dave Roberts is now the manager of the Padres.
Seattle at SF later tonight, Taijuan Walker (3-6, 5.40) vs. Tim Hudson (4-5, 4.60). Giants have lost eight in a row at home going into this game.
And it's 4-0 Texas, with Liberatore pitching. One out.
4-0 Texas through six. Yikes.
Kendrick reaches on a very high throw to first...called a base hit
Ethier with yet ANOTHER GIDP (his second of the night)
Why is Callaspo (batting .224) even in the lineup
Can we blame the plane delay?
@Orel: we can blame Mattingly for playing Callaspo!
(and having Gonzalez bat when he's 0-for-3 with a GIDP does not seem like the right DH move, either)
Rollins, still plummeting back toward sub-.200 batting
Rollins is batting worse than even Callaspo
@Sax, 7:27p: I think that's Bud Black's fault.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Puig Ks with two on and one out. Here's Gonzalez.
Potential PGT headline: Adrian Gonzalez: Not a Good Choice For DH
4-1, mid-8
And there it is. Dodgers lose.
Mariners tied 1-1 through 2.
are we there yet?
i guess so
post-game thread up
I flew to the wrong Arlington today. #VA
