Looking to bounce back from Sunday’s 9-8 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, the Los Angeles Dodgers hit the road for their second matchup of the spring against the Texas Rangers.

The two teams previously faced off on March 3 in what was a 6-3 victory for the Dodgers. Kenta Maeda struggled a bit in his start, yielding all three of the Rangers’ runs over the first two innings of play, but the Dodgers bullpen limited the damage from their with a collective seven shutout frames.

Ross Stripling looks for better results as he takes the mound for his fourth Spring Training outing. In three previous appearances, he has posted a 2.08 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with seven strikeouts over 8.2 innings of work.

The right-hander is coming off an efficient start against the Chicago White Sox in which he allowed two unearned runs, two hits and two walks with two strikeouts in 3.2 innings pitched.

The Rangers counter with left-hander Mike Minor, who has struggled for much of Spring Training. In three games, he is 0-1 with a 5.63 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and seven strikeouts over eight innings pitched.

Max Muncy returns to the lineup after missing the past four games due to wrist/forearm soreness. Although Muncy was held out of games and limited in workouts, he downplayed having any concern over the issue.

Dodgers lineup:

LF: Chris Taylor
3B: Justin Turner
1B: Max Muncy
2B: Kiké Hernandez
DH: Russell Martin
C: Austin Barnes
RF: Paulo Orlando
CF: Alex Verdugo
