Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas will forever be etched in Dodgers fans hearts, as well as Julio Urías’ dad’s arm, as the site of the first championship for the franchise in 32 years.
The other one came in 2015, when he struck out 10 but allowed four runs in six innings to suffer the loss.
He’s never faced the Rangers in Texas, which is just a short drive from his home and where he grew up in the Dallas area.
The Dodgers are 18-12 all-time in interleague play against the Rangers, including seven wins in their last eight meetings.
Longtime Braves pitcher Mike Foltyniewicz starts for the Rangers in the series opener, entering Friday night with a 4.75 ERA and 5.17 FIP in 12 starts.
It’s been five weeks since they last won a road game, with the Rangers 0-15 on their last two trips.
