Just two nights after scoring a season-best eight runs in an inning the Rangers go off for 11 in the 3rd inning of a 16-5 bashing of the Astros. The most amazing thing might be they do it with only one extra base hit.
The 11-run 3rd includes six singles, three walks, two errors, a sacrafice, a fielder's choice, an rbi groundout, and finally a Mitch Moreland double. Everyone in the Texas line-up scores in that 3rd inning as they put the Astros out of their misery.
Matt Garza benefits from the big offense to win his 9th. Garza giving up five runs in 6.2 innings.
The A's also win, staying a half game behind the Rangers. Texas and Houston playing game two of their series at 7:05 tonight. Take a swim through Diamond Talk immediately afterwards on Sportsradio 1310 The Ticket.
