The 2014 schedule for the Texas Rangers has been released by MLB.
The Rangers open at home against the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday, March 31, so you might want to plan on getting your tickets early if you want to see Yu Darvish face off against Cliff Lee.
There are four lengthy road trips next summer -- 11 games against Detroit, the Twins and the Nationals in late May, a 9 game West Coast trip at Seattle, Oaklaqnd and Anaheim in mid-June, 9 games against the Indians, ChiSox and Astros at the beginning of August, and 10 at Seattle, Houston and Kansas City in late August and early September.
Late July through August is the most grueling stretch for the Rangers, who have 27 road games from July 18 (the first day post-All Star break) through September 3. However, the Rangers then play 17 of their final 23 at home, including a four game homestand against the A's to end the season.
