After yesterday’s off day, the Rangers are set to play a quick two game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks to wrap up the first homestand of the season.
Game one will see right-hander Kyle Gibson make his Rangers debut. A free-agent Texas signed in the off season, Gibson has pitched against Arizona once in his career. In 2014, he held the Diamondbacks to one run over seven innings in a 6-3 win. Last season, Gibson went 13-7 with a 4.84 ERA with a 9.00 K/9 rate and 1.44 WHIP.
RHP Merrill Kelly will pitch for Arizona.
