Left-hander Cody Bradford will look to redeem himself while filling in for one of the Rangers' most consistent arms when Texas faces the host Baltimore Orioles on Sunday in the finale of a three-game series.
Bradford was not expected to be Sunday's starter, but the Rangers placed right-hander Dane Dunning on the paternity list on Saturday afternoon and called up the 25-year-old from Triple-A Round Rock.
"It's tough debuting against this ball club," Texas manager Bruce Bochy said after Bradford pitched against Atlanta. "But he battled, gave us five innings. It's always good to get your first start. He'll learn from this." Despite that recent lapse, Bradish has been strong this season, allowing three runs or fewer in six of his eight starts.
Texas averages 6.41 runs per game, the most in the major leagues, and the Rangers put their offense on full display in Friday's 12-2 victory over Baltimore. Texas followed that performance up with a 5-3 win on Saturday to improve to 33-18, their best start through 51 games in franchise history.
