Lucky 13?

That would have to be asked twice during today's Angels-Rangers game, assuming Joe Saunders makes his scheduled start.

Saunders is on red alert since his wife was due with the couple's first child on Monday. He reported that she wasn't experiencing contractions yet and he's good to go for tonight's 5:05 p.m. (PST) game but if he leaves in the second inning, you'll know why.

Saunders is gunning for his 13th victory this season and will be making his first start vs. Texas this season and sixth overall. He is 2-2 with a 6.08 ERA against them lifetime.

He will be opposing Matt Harrison, making his major-league debut, who was acquired in the Mark Teixeira trade last summer. Harrison was 3-2 with a 3.33 ERA in nine Class AA starts and had a no decision in his lone Class AAA start this season.
