Rangers, Braves send veteran lefties to mound in opener

Two veteran left-handers will take the mound when the Texas Rangers visit the Atlanta Braves for the first time since 2017 to start a three-game interleague series on Friday.

The Braves, coming off a three-game road sweep of the Houston Astros, are tied for the most wins in the National League and lead the NL East.

The defending World Series champion Rangers, who began the week by taking three of four against the host Detroit Tigers, are first in the American League West.
