Rangers reveal game times for 2018 schedule
Game times are now a part of the Texas Rangers’ 2018 schedule.
The complete schedule was released Wednesday afternoon, and there isn’t much difference from previous seasons. Home night games will start at 7:05 p.m., home day games during the work week will begin at 1:05 p.m., and Sunday games will start at 2:05 p.m.
There are exceptions, naturally. The first comes in Game 1 of 81 at Globe Life Park, with Opening Day against the Houston Astros starting at 2:35 p.m. That was announced in November. The March 31 game against the Astros is bumped to 3:05 p.m.
Others are May 23 against the New York Yankees (6:05 p.m.); May 26 against Kansas City (3:05 p.m.); June 9 against Houston (6:15 p.m.); June 16 vs. Colorado (3:05 p.m. CT); June 30 against the Chicago White Sox (8:05 p.m.); and July 4 against Houston (6:05 p.m.).
All game times are subject to change.
Briefly
