Rain continues to fall and has delayed the Rangers Angels game until at least 4pm. The tarp has been on the field since the end of Friday Night’s game and rain has continued to fall since the morning.After losing the Friday night game 4-7, the Rangers look to try and decrease the magic number for wrapping up the AL West from 3 to 2 with a win. Last night Jered Weaver threw an impressive game and became the first AL pitcher to 20 wins and kept the Rangers at bay.
The Rangers also need a win to keep the best record in baseball as the Yankees have slimmed the Rangers lead to 1.5 game with a win on Friday but loss today.
