Monday through Wednesday: Rangers at Angel Stadium
Friday through July 12: Yankees at Angel Stadium
The Texas Rangers, trying to dethrone the Angels in the American League West, make their first visit to Anaheim this season. The teams have played six games in Texas, with the Rangers winning five and scoring at least nine runs three times.
Then come the New York Yankees, with first baseman Mark Teixeira and pitcher CC Sabathia visiting Anaheim for the first time since rejecting nine-figure contract offers from the Angels in favor of higher bids from the Yankees. Teixeira ranks among the league's top 10 in home runs, doubles, runs batted in and OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage), through Friday.
