The Texas Rangers let a sweep of the Detroit Tigers slip through their fingers on Sunday night. But two out of three isn’t bad.

When my nearly 90-year-old grandpa, Bill Birkle, was forced to the hospital for pneumonia, it was the Detroit Tigers that kept his mind off things.

Yes, but their typical Sunday afternoon game has been moved to the evening, with the Tigers playing the Rangers on ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" at 7:10 p.m. ET. Date: Sunday, July 20. Time: 7:10 p.m. ET. Location: Globe Life Field, Arlington, Texas.

ARLINGTON — Texas Rangers catcher Kyle Higashioka exited Tuesday’s game vs. the Athletics at Globe Life Field with hamstring tightness and will be reevaluated Wednesday.

BOTTOM LINE: The Texas Rangers host the Detroit Tigers looking to extend a three-game home winning streak. Texas has a 27-19 record in home games and a 49-49 record overall. The Rangers have an 18-36 record in games when they have given up at least one home run.

Riley Greene homered in the ninth inning to keep the Tigers from being shut out for the second straight game in Texas.
