The Rangers are starting to look like a major league baseball team! Another great pitching performance – this time by Darren Oliver. He went seven innings, giving up just 4 hits and 1 run. He walked a lot of guys (5), but had the defense and the pitching when he needed it – which I suppose is the name of the game, eh?
J.D. Smart – called up again because Cordero had to go back on the DL didn’t fare so well, giving up a couple of runs on a home run in his lone inning. Zim came on and got the save in the 9th looking really sharp.
Offensively, the best star was Mike Lamb, going 3 for 4 with an RBI. Ricky Ledee also came through – with a double scoring a couple of runs. A great game – I’m going tonight to see them against the A’s – I hope it continues! :)
