Young, Hamilton due back when Rangers visit Royals

Jun 10, 2008 - 2:24 PM Texas (32-33) at Kansas City (25-39) 8:10 p.m. EDT

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Ticker) -- Michael Young and Josh Hamilton look to get the Texas Rangers back to the .500 mark Tuesday season when they open a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals.

Despite missing Young and Hamilton in the lineup, the Rangers managed to snap a two-game losing streak by pounding out 11 hits, including three home runs, in Sunday's 6-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.

Young, who has a 22-game hitting streak, missed Sunday's game with a strained groin but is expected back on Tuesday. Hamilton, the American League RBI leader, also is set to return from a viral infection.

Kevin Millwood (4-3, 4.65 ERA) goes for his third straight win in as many starts when he takes the mound for the Rangers on Tuesday.

Millwood allowed four runs and nine hits while striking out six in six innings during Thursday's 9-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians.

The Royals counter with Gil Meche (3-8, 5.54), who tries to snap a three-game losing streak and earn his first win since May 15.
