Rangers' Michael Lorenzen tasked with taming hot Braves

April 21 - The Texas Rangers will need to slow down red-hot Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud on Sunday if they hope to salvage a game from their weekend series in Atlanta.

D'Arnaud has four home runs and eight RBIs in the first two games of the series, and the Rangers undoubtedly are hoping he gets a day of rest. The Braves could give backup Chadwick Tromp a start behind the plate; he last started on Tuesday.

The Braves have won six straight and are going for their third sweep of a three-game series this season. Texas is 4-5 on its 10-game road trip, which concludes Sunday.
