To remain atop the AL West, the Texas Rangers will likely need to regain their winning ways on the road. A trip to Kansas City might be just what the Rangers need. Texas will try to end a five-game road losing streak Tuesday night by earning its sixth straight win over the Royals in the opener of a two-game series. The Rangers have been a surprising occupant of first place in the early season and much of that success has come at home, where they’re 18-9. Texas is 7-11 away from Arlington but that includes a five-game win streak April 22-May 3. Rangers pitchers had a 0.90 ERA during that run, but have posted an 8.55 ERA in the team’s current road losing streak, which is one shy of tying their season high set April 15-21. Given his history against the Royals, Rich Harden could have a chance to help Texas get back on track as it begins a stretch of 17 of 24 on the road. The Rangers, losers of two straight following a five-game win streak, have also won seven of nine at Kauffman Stadium - where Kansas City is 8-13 this season.

The right-hander, making his fourth attempt to earn a third consecutive win, is 2-0 with a 1.78 ERA in five career starts against the Royals and allowed two runs over five innings in a home matchup May 8. Harden didn’t get the win in that 3-2 victory - which was part of a four-game sweep - and has not recorded a decision during contrasting performances in his past two starts. He was tagged for seven runs over 2 2-3 innings in a wild 16-10 loss in Toronto on May 14 and gave up two runs over 5 1-3 innings in Wednesday’s 4-3 comeback win over Baltimore. Royals right-hander Gil Meche has also made slight progress from his miserable start to this season but has little to show for it. Meche had a 9.89 ERA in his first five outings but has a 2.84 ERA in his last three. However, he’s 0-1 over that span, getting outdueled by Harden on May 8. The right-hander is 1-5 with a 4.85 ERA in his last seven starts against Texas but earned that win last season with six scoreless innings in a 12-3 rout. Meche, winless in 10 starts since Aug. 18, is 5-10 with a 5.72 ERA in 17 career starts versus the Rangers.
