The San Francisco Giants (47-65) visit the Texas Rangers (55-57) at Globe Life Field on August 3, 2026, as both clubs try to salvage something out of the season’s final two months. San Francisco is hitting .253 as a team while Texas sits at .245, and the Giants lean heavily on Luis Arraez, who is batting .324 with a .360 on-base percentage and a .440 slugging mark. Rafael Devers supplies the power to Arraez’s contact bat, leading the Giants with 23 home runs and 62 RBIs from first base.
Texas counters with its own thump, as Joc Pederson leads the Rangers with 20 home runs and Jake Burger leads the club with 66 RBIs to go with 19 homers of his own.

Players to Watch: San Francisco Giants vs. Texas Rangers
San Francisco Giants
Luis Arraez — 2B. Arraez leads the Giants with a .324 batting average, the calling card of a contact-first approach at second base. He rounds that out with a .360 on-base percentage and a .440 slugging mark, giving San Francisco length at the plate even without much power from the position.
Rafael Devers — 1B. Devers leads San Francisco with 23 home runs and 62 RBIs, playing first base as the club’s primary power source. That combination of pop and production gives the Giants thump to pair with Arraez’s average at second base.
Texas Rangers
Joc Pederson — DH. Pederson leads the Rangers with 20 home runs, adding 42 RBIs and a .253 average as Texas’s power bat at designated hitter. His home run total sits just one ahead of Jake Burger’s 19, giving Texas a pair of hitters in similar power territory this season.
Jake Burger — 1B. Burger leads the Rangers with 66 RBIs, well clear of Pederson’s 42, and has paired that production with 19 home runs and a .237 average at first base. His RBI total makes him the club’s top source of runs driven in this season.
