The Los Angeles Angels face their division rivals, the Texas Rangers, for the first time this season. The Halos begin play Friday night seven games back of Texas, in last place in the American League West. They turn to a former Ranger in the series debut.
C.J. Wilson makes his return to Arlington for the first time since signing a five-year free agent contract with the Angels this winter. Wilson is looking for his fifth win, as is Yu Darvish of the Rangers, as both high priced pitchers have done well in their first six starts this season.
