The Texas Rangers finally gave starting pitcher Kevin Millwood enough run support for him to earn a victory.  Millwood beat the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday by the score of 3-1.  It was Millwoods first win of the season, even though he could easily be 2-0 on the season if he would have had some run support.

After Millwood pitched seven strong innings, Joaquin Benoit and C.J. Wilson both pitched a scoreless inning.  Wilson picked up the save which was his second of the season.

At the plate, Josh Hamilton led the Rangers with two RBI’s.  Michael Young also had two hits and an RBI.

The Texas Rangers once again played a terrible game and this time they lost to the Baltimore Orioles by the score of 8-1.  I was really expecting the Rangers to come out and play a lot better then they did.  They got behind early in the game, and were never able to crawl there way back into it.

Jason Jennings received his second loss of the short season already as he only lasted 4.2 innings while giving up seven hits and four earned runs.  He also gave up two longballs on the day.  Jamey Wright and Josh Rupe didn’t have much luck either as they let give more runs score combined.

Ian Kinsler was the lone Rangers player to have an RBI on the day.  Terribler performance all the way around by the Rangers.

The Texas Rangers picked up a nice road victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.  The 11-6 pounding gave the Rangers a 2-2 record on the season so far.

Kason Gabbard threw seven shutout innings for the Rangers, and had the Angeles batters thinking what in the hell pitch he was going to throw next.  Gabbard gave up seven hits, struck out four and walked two to earn the victory.

The big hit for the Rangers was a grandslam by Ben Broussard in the fourth inning.  That was kind of a dagger in the heart of the Angeles the way Gabbard was throwing the ball.

Josh Hamilton chipped in with three RBI while Ian Kinsler contributed with two RBI.  Michael Young also had one RBI for the Rangers.  It was a great showing by the Rangers as a lot of different players contributed in the butt kicking of the Angels.
