• The Texas Rangers would like to put a forgettable week behind them. That’s why their clubhouse doors remained closed for half an hour after Sunday’s 5-3 loss at Houston, the Rangers’ seventh straight defeat, as first-year manager Chris Woodward held a team meeting.

• Right-hander Adrian Sampson (6-6, 4.92 ERA) is scheduled to rejoin the Rangers’ rotation for Monday’s series opener. Sampson, born in the Seattle suburb of Redmond, has pitched three times in relief since his last start July 5 at Minnesota, when he allowed seven runs in 3 1/ 3 innings of a 15-6 loss.

• The Mariners are set to start left-hander Marco Gonzales (10-8, 4.48 ERA). He’s 4-3 with a 3.35 ERA in eight career starts against the Rangers, including 1-2 with a 3.50 ERA in three appearances in 2019.

• The Mariners haven’t fared much better than the Rangers recently, as they’ve lost eight of their past nine games. Their only victory since the All-Star break came when Mike Leake took a perfect game into the ninth inning of a 10-0 victory against the Los Angeles Angels last Friday. Leake settled for a one-hitter.
