Reunion with Ron Washington on docket as Rangers welcome Angels

The Texas Rangers are looking to get back to some consistent winning after dropping two straight series and to do so, they'll have to take on an old friend. This weekend Bruce Bochy and crew welcome the last place Los Angeles Angels and old manager Ron Washington to town. The Rangers have maintained a hold on second place in the AL West for the last week, but it's more indicative of how bad the rest of the West has been that a game above .500 is within spitting distance of first place as the division-leading Seattle Mariners have the worst record of any first place team in baseball. Despite Los Angeles sitting in the cellar in the West, Texas has shown in recent series against Oakland and Colorado that they can't take series against underperforming squads for granted; that's typically when they've been at their worst.
