ARLINGTON, Texas --
Adrian Beltre has had a memorable week. He had a three-homer game against Baltimore and followed that up with a cycle on Friday. He has a five-game hitting streak this homestand and is 13-for-22 (.591) with three doubles, a triple, five homers, nine RBIs and seven runs scored. Beltre looks to keep that going against
Brian Duensing. Beltre is 2-for-3 with a walk off him in his career.
Mitch Moreland is also in the lineup vs. a lefty, a rarity.
