Rangers at Diamondbacks, 6:40 p.m., Cox, Ch. 34
Diamondbacks RHP Nabil Crismatt (0-2, 1.84) vs. Rangers TBA.
At Chase Field: Crismatt has made three starts since joining the Diamondbacks midway through last month, pitching well in each of them. Most recently, he gave up two runs (one earned) in 5 2/3 innings against the Brewers in Milwaukee. … He has leaned heavily on his change-up in those three starts, using it more than any other pitch. It has induced an impressive 41.5 percent whiff rate while holding opposing hitters to just a .222 average. … The Rangers have yet to name a starter, but this could be a bullpen day. If that ends up happening, one option could be LHP Jacob Latz, who has mostly pitched in relief but has picked up the occasional spot start. He has a 3.13 ERA in 63 1/3 innings this season.
