--RHP Frank Francisco, who has not pitched in five days, will look to inch closer to the Rangers' club record for consecutive innings without allowing an earned run. RHP Jeff Zimmerman (29 2/3 innings) holds the club mark. Francisco is at 27 1/3 innings over 27 appearances dating back to last August. In that time, he has allowed one unearned run and held opponents to a .117 average.
