The New York Yankees look to reverse their recent slide as they face Nathan Eovaldi and the Texas Rangers in a crucial American League playoff race showdown at Globe Life Field on Tuesday night.

Texas Rangers vs. New York Yankees preview
The sputtering Yankees bring their recent struggles to Arlington where they'll face a Rangers squad equally desperate to gain ground in a tight American League playoff picture.
Nathan Eovaldi has been nothing short of dominant for Texas, sporting a sparkling 1.49 ERA while winning his last three starts with laser-like precision.
Yankees rookie Will Warren, despite his overall 4.64 ERA, did silence the Rangers' bats in their May matchup, striking out 10 across 5.2 scoreless innings.
Both clubs enter this pivotal mid-week clash having stumbled recently – New York dropping seven of their last 11 while Texas has lost five of seven, including three of four against Seattle.
Globe Life Field has been a pitcher's paradise all season, with games consistently falling under projected totals, particularly when Eovaldi takes the mound.
With New York's offense searching for consistency without Aaron Judge and Texas looking to capitalize on their home-field advantage, this matchup could prove critical as both teams jockey for wild card positioning.
