It's the third straight road game for Cincinnati, getting a 2-0 win yesterday. The offense is 27th in runs scored, 23rd in on-base percentage, 29th in steals, and 24th in slugging. 23-year-old Chase Burns threw well in his first start. That was at home, and last season, he had a 4.57 ERA overall, including 5.24 on the road. He faces a Texas offense that is 13th in runs scored and seventh in slugging. Jack Leiter threw well in a 5-2 win at Baltimore, and the bullpen is ranked third in the majors with a 2.01 ERA. The Rangers are on a 49-35 run at home. Play Texas.
