ARLINGTON, Texas (Interstat) — The San Francisco Giants will try to make it two straight over the Texas Rangers on Tuesday at Globe Life Park, where game-time conditions are expected to be clear and 94 degrees. San Francisco (48-66) took Monday’s opener 5-1 behind Logan Webb, who allowed no earned runs on five hits over six innings and struck out eight. Jung Hoo Lee powered the offense, going 3 for 4 with two home runs and three RBIs. Sam Hentges added 1 1/3 scoreless innings in relief. The win snapped a modest two-game skid for the Giants, who had dropped consecutive games at San Diego. Texas (55-58) has lost six straight and is struggling to generate consistent offense. Cal Quantrill took the loss Monday, allowing one earned run on four hits in six innings with four strikeouts. Ezequiel Duran was the bright spot for Texas, going 4 for 4 with a home run and an RBI. The Rangers managed just one run despite collecting nine? Wait, need check: In most recent head-to-head, final 5-1. We know Webb allowed 5h, Quantrill allowed 4h, plus maybe relievers. Not know Texas total hits. Avoid. Webb and Quantrill are the players to watch after their Monday duel. Webb has won three of his last five starts and has been effective with his fastball-changeup combination. Quantrill has allowed one earned run in consecutive starts, though he has little to show for it because of the Rangers’ recent slide. The Giants and Rangers will meet again Wednesday in the second game of this two-game series, then San Francisco returns home to face Detroit on Friday. Texas will host Baltimore on Friday. Handicapping services see a close game. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 5-4 Giants victory, while Interstat’s ELO system gives Texas a 55 percent chance to win. Texas has been installed as a pregame favorite with a run line of -1.5, and the over/under is set at 7.5. The Giants will look to build on Monday’s strong pitching performance and a rare offensive outburst. Lee, who has shown power from the leadoff spot, will be a key factor again. For Texas, Duran’s 4-for-4 night provided some hope, but the Rangers need more production from the rest of the lineup to avoid a seventh straight loss. With the heat in Arlington and both bullpens potentially taxed after Monday’s game, Tuesday’s outcome could depend on which team gets the early lead and forces the other to play from behind. The Giants, despite their record, have shown flashes of competitiveness. The Rangers, meanwhile, are looking to stop a slide that has put their season in danger. First pitch is scheduled under clear skies at Globe Life Park, with the temperature expected to remain near 94 degrees through the evening.
