It's the Texas Rangers in the Coliseum as they face the Oakland Athletics. This is Game 2 of this series and you can watch it for free online thanks to MLB.TV. First pitch is a little after 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT in this A.L. West battle.
On the mound will be a former ace and possible future Cy Young Award winner. It's Bartolo Colon of the A's against funny man, Derek Holland. The Rangers lost Game 1 of this series and they look forward to having Holland guide them to victory.
Holland is funny off the field, but he's been all business on the mound in 2013. Holland is 3-2 with a 2.54 ERA in 2013. In his last start against the Milwaukee Bucks, Holland was smacked around, but he only gave up one run on no walks, 10 hits and recorded six strikeouts.
For Colon, he's been rocked in his last couple of starts. After starting the year 3-0, Colon has lost two of his last three starts. However, he still seems to have his control walking just one hitter and striking out 27 so far in his seven starts this year. However, he might not be giving up since he's around the plate, which is why he might be getting smacked around.
