The Rangers are off to a 4-2 start looking improved. Note, however, that all of their games were played at home.

Texas is taking to the road for the first time this season. The Rangers lost 14 of their last 18 away contests last season, including the past five.

Now the Rangers must show they can win away from home as they draw a hot Marcus Stroman, who gave up three hits and struck out eight in six innings in the Cubs' 4-0 home victory against the Brewers opening day.

That was Stroman's fourth straight victory at Wrigley Field. He's given up only two runs in 26 innings while averaging a strikeout an inning during this four-game span.

Texas starter Nathan Eovaldi has a 5.40 in one start this season.
