The Texas Rangers are finally back at their ballpark and they could use some home cooking. The Oakland As may be the perfect guests.The Rangers open a seven-game homestand with a three-game series beginning Monday night against AL West rival Oakland. Texas is coming off a 3-6 road trip out of the All-Star break.The West-leading Rangers (57-42) did win the final two on the road at defending World Series champion Kansas City. Sundays 2-1 victory ended a stretch in which the Rangers played only four home games in a 28-day span beginning on June 27.Very nice way to end this road trip, Texas manager Jeff Banister said. Opportunity to win a series, get back on a winning track, put a couple of games together than obviously were hard fought.Starting pitching has been an issue for Texas over the last three weeks. The Rangers did get consecutive solid starts out of ace Cole Hamels and A.J. Griffin against the Royals, and more help appears on the way.General manager Jon Daniels indicated Sunday that injured starters Derek Holland and Colby Lewis will rejoin the rotation on the first day theyre eligible to come off the disabled list, Aug. 20 and 21, respectively.Daniels also admitted the club could be in the market for a rental to boost the rotation before the trade deadline Aug. 1.I was hoping we wouldnt consider rentals, Daniels told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Were always open for long-term, controllable acquisitions.The injuries to the staff led to the reversal of ground for the Rangers, who have seen what was once a 10-game lead chopped to 2 1/2 games.With a healthy rotation we would, like we did last year, not consider rentals, Daniels added. Its still not my preference, but weve got to be open to it.Though the As (45-54) are last in the AL West, theyve been hot since the All-Star break. Oakland is 7-3 since baseball resumed and is on a three-game winning streak, including Sundays 3-2 victory over Tampa Bay on Billy Butlers go-ahead home run in the eighth inning.The As took the lead in the eighth or later in each of the three wins against the Rays. Oakland has also won three consecutive series for the first time since 2014.Winnings definitely contagious, Butler told MLB.com. I feel like when you come from behind or make surges late, once you do them you have confidence as a team that youre going to do it.Oakland opens its nine-game road trip by sending right-hander Daniel Mengden (1-5, 5.52 ERA) to the mound against Texas. The Rangers counter with lefty Martin Perez (7-7, 4.37).The Rangers and Oakland are playing in Arlington for first time this season. The As have gone 4-3 in the first seven meetings, all in Oakland, but have lost the last three. Oakland will visit Globe Life Park for a series once each in July, August and September.Texas is 29-15 at home this year. Wholesale Air Jordan . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim.
