The Tigers and Rangers wrap up their series at 2:35 p.m. Tonight will also be his second start in Globe Life Field he was banged for four runs over five innings by the Rangers in May 2021, though only Charlie Culberson (2-for-3), Adolis Garcia (0-for-3), Nathaniel Lowe (1-for-4) and Nick Solak (2-for-4) remain from that game’s lineup. Meanwhile, the Tigers will send Eduardo Rodriguez to the mound for his second start since returning to the team from a lengthy personal absence he allowed four hits and three walks over five scoreless innings to pick up the win Sunday against the Angels. But his control has since petered out, as he went from 2.4 walks per nine innings in 2020 to 3.3 last year (with a 5.28 ERA for Chicago) to 4.8 this season.Īrizona Diamondbacks' Dallas Keuchel pitches against the San Francisco Giants during the first inning of a baseball game in San Francisco, Tuesday, July 12, 2022. The bearded 34-year-old was an effective pitcher as recently as 2020, posting a 1.99 ERA over 11 starts with the ChiSox in that abbreviated season and finishing fifth in AL Cy Young voting. (Sadly, Dallas still will not be starting IN Dallas the Rangers’ Globe Life Field is approximately 18 miles from Dallas proper.) The Rangers will be paying Keuchel a prorated share of the league minimum salary … because the ChiSox are still on the hook for his full $18 million salary this season (plus a $1.5 million buyout of his 2023 option). The 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner will be starting for his third franchise in 2022 alone - he previously posted a 7.88 ERA in 32 innings and eight starts for the Chicago White Sox, followed by a 9.64 ERA in 18 2/3 innings for the Arizona Diamondbacks - as he makes his debut for the squad located in his namesake metro area. Game notes: There’s the old cliché about teaching your newborn to throw a baseball left-handed and never having to worry about money, and, folks, Dallas Keuchel is living proof.
