NEW YORK (Interstat) — The Texas Rangers aim to snap a three-game losing streak Tuesday night when they face the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium II. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. under clear skies, with temperatures expected near 65 degrees. Texas (16-18) sends veteran right-hander Jacob deGrom (2-1) to the mound. The two-time Cy Young Award winner will look to steady a Rangers staff that has struggled early in a six-game road trip. New York (23-11) holds the best record in the American League and counters with a lineup that has produced 11 runs in each of its last two games. The Yankees have won three of four meetings between the clubs already this season, all at Texas, including a 3-0 shutout on April 29 in Arlington. The Rangers avoided a sweep with a 2-1 victory in that series finale, but arrive in New York having lost four of their last five overall. Players to watch Rangers right-hander Jack Leiter has endured a difficult stretch. The rookie took the loss Sunday against Detroit after allowing five earned runs on five hits over 6 2/3 innings, striking out 10. In his previous outing April 27 against the Yankees at home, Leiter yielded four earned runs on eight hits across six innings in a 4-2 defeat. Over his last five appearances covering 27 innings, he has surrendered 20 earned runs while striking out 32. Yankees outfielder Jasson Domínguez has been productive in recent days. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and three RBIs on Sunday as New York routed Baltimore 11-3. In the three-game sweep of the Orioles that pushed the Yankees’ winning streak to five, Domínguez batted .308 (4 for 13) with a homer and three RBIs. Recent results Texas dropped the final three games of its series against Detroit, including a 7-1 defeat Sunday. Ezequiel Duran went 1 for 4 in that contest. The Rangers’ offense managed only five runs in the three losses combined. New York completed a three-game sweep of the Orioles on Sunday, outscoring Baltimore 27-9. Left-hander Max Fried earned the win Sunday after allowing three earned runs over 5 1/3 innings. Simulation projection Interstat’s game simulator projects a 7-3 victory for the Yankees, a result that would extend New York’s winning streak to six and deepen Texas’s early season struggles. Series outlook The teams continue the four-game series Wednesday and Thursday. Texas returns home Friday to open a three-game set with the Chicago Cubs. The Yankees travel to Milwaukee on Friday to start a three-game series with the Brewers. MVP watch: Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge leads the AL with 12 home runs and 30 RBIs.
