Game 51: Texas Rangers at Minnesota Twins

First Pitch: 12:10 pm CST
TV: FSN, MLBN
Radio: 96.3 K-TWIN, TIBN
Know Thine Enemy: Lone Star Ball

Today's day game features the Rangers' right-hander Nick Martinez throwing against Minnesota's righty Samuel Deduno. During Texas' demolition of the Tigers' pitching this past weekend, Martinez earned his first win in Saturday's game, throwing a solid six innings and allowing just one earned run. Deduno's last start was also on Saturday in San Francisco, during the weekend series against the Giants. Deduno went 5 2/3 innings, giving up two earned runs. The Twins are going to need the less-wild Deduno to show up for today's game if they want to see a win.
