With several hours to go before game time, Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington has revealed the lineup that will take the field to face Tampa Bay’s David Price in Game 3:
Rangers Manager Ron Washington Posts Game 3 Lineup vs. Rays
1. Ian Kinsler 2B
2. Elvis Andrus SS
3. Josh Hamilton LF
4. Michael Young DH
5. Adrian Beltre 3B
6. Mike Napoli C
7. Nelson Cruz RF
8. Mitch Moreland 1B
9. Craig Gentry CF
The Rangers are facing a lefthander for the second time in this series, but the lineup is a bit different than the one Washington used against Matt Moore in Game 1. Mitch Moreland plays first base today, instead of Michael Young. Young, in turn, moves to DH, where Yorvit Torrealba served on Friday.
The only Rangers hitter who did anything against Moore and two Rays relievers on Friday was Josh Hamilton, who had a single and a double. The Rangers have hit Price well in the past, as Grant Brisbee wrote earlier today, but Price’s control has been outstanding in postseason play.
