Four giveaways and Friday post-game fireworks highlight the homestand
Arlington, Texas—The Texas Rangers return home to face the Baltimore Orioles, Cincinnati Reds, and Boston Red Sox in a six game homestand that begins on Monday, June 20.
The Rangers and Orioles will play on Monday, June 20 at 7:05 p.m. in a makeup game from the postponement on Sunday, April 17. As a reminder, fans holding tickets to the April 17 rainout may use them for Monday night’s contest. The first 7,500 fans, 13 and under entering Globe Life Park on Monday will receive a pair of PowerAde Zero Delino DeShields Socks. That giveaway was originally scheduled for April 17.
The Reds come to Arlington for a pair of interleague games on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 21-22, both at 7:05 p.m. The first 15,000 fans entering the park on Tuesday get a 2016 Texas Rangers Yearbook, which was just published this week and contains a Salute to Youth Baseball. Prior to Tuesday’s game, over 20 members of the 1996 Texas Rangers, the first playoff team in franchise history, will be recognized on-field. First baseman Will Clark will join Rangers Hall of Famers Rusty Greer and Ivan Rodriguez in the first pitch ceremony. June 22 is Texas Chili Company Dollar Hot Dog Night and Dr Pepper Autograph Wednesday for youngsters 13 and under.

Recently retired outfielder David Murphy, who played with the Rangers from 2007-13, will be honored pre-game and will throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
On Saturday, the first 40,000 fans entering the Globe Life Park gates get a TOTAL/Big Green Egg Rally Towel.
