Yovani Gallardo (7-6, 2.72 ERA) toes the rubber for the Rangers while the Orioles counter with Kevin Gausman and he is 1-0 on the season thus far with a 4.24 ERA.

Gausman returns to face a deep Texas lineup, which is paced by first baseman Prince Fielder.
Fielder has 12 homers and a club-best 49 RBI while ranking second in the American League in hits (103), third in batting average (.342) and on-base percentage (.410) and fourth in OPS (.932). Mitch Moreland has a team-leading 14 long-balls for the Rangers.
Baltimore counters with a versatile lineup in its own right.
Paredes is fifth in the AL with a .319 batting average while third baseman Manny Machado ranks third in the league in total bases (160, tied) and fifth in hits (92).
Despite fanning 100 times in 272 at-bats, first baseman Chris Davis leads the Orioles with 18 homers and 49 RBI.
In the standings, Baltimore enters play atop the AL East with a half-game lead over the second-place Tampa Bay Rays while Texas is third in the AL West, six games behind the division-leading Houston Astros.
The Rangers seek a series win while the Orioles hope for a split when they take the field at Camden Yard in the final meeting of a four-game set live from Baltimore.
