The Rangers don't exactly right the wrongs of last season, but they have to feel alot better knowing they can win in Oakland. Texas returning to the scene of last year's meltdown that cost them the AL West to win a series, taking 2 of 3 with yesterday's 6-2 win over the A's.
Nelson Cruz with two big hands in this win. In the 5th, Cruz rips the first pitch he sees for a game-sealing 3-run home run. Then in the 6th, Cruz ends an Oakland threat with a terrific diving catch in right center field.
Alexi Ogando allows just 2 runs in 6+ innings for his 4th win. The Rangers have the best record in the American League and a whopping 7 game lead in the AL West.
A highly anticipated match-up at the Ballpark tonight as the Rangers open a 7 game homestand against the Tigers. It's Yu Darvish facing Justin Verlander in a battle of aces. Tune in for Diamond Talk immediately after the game on Sportsradio 1310 The Ticket.
