The Rangers are riding a wave of momentum, stretching their winning streak to three games following a commanding performance against Minnesota on Tuesday. That hot stretch comes on the heels of a four-game skid, which they snapped with back-to-back road victories against the Nationals.

Meanwhile, Minnesota is trending the other way. The Twins have dropped four of their last five games and have failed to win three of their last four series. They did manage to salvage the finale of their set with the Blue Jays last Sunday, posting a 6-3 win to avoid being swept at home.

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch the Minnesota Twins and the Texas Rangers MLB game, plus plenty more.
