]]> For the first time since not re-signing with Texas and signing with the Phillies instead, Cliff Lee will find the mound against the Rangers. The Rangers will have their first face-to-face glimpse at Cliff Lee in a Philadelphia uniform – well, at least after not returning to Texas in the offseason. And instead of seeing him in the dugout as a teammate, they will see him on the mound as they are at the plate waiting for his pitch that each Ranger hopes won’t doom them to a defeat tonight.
