The Texas Rangers held the Detroit Tigers scoreless through six inning but then the Tigers came out and score four runs each in the seventh and eighth innings. The Rangers would score four runs of their own in the bottom of the eighth inning but the they still lose the game by one run. The final score being 8-7.

Scott Feldman pitched six innings and gave up five hits and three runs to get the no decision. Frank Francisco took the loss after allowing a run score in the seventh inning. Jamey Wright pitched terrible as he was charged with all four runs in the eighth inning. Just a terrible performance out of Francisco and Wright in the game as they could not keep the Rangers in the game.

The Rangers offense did try to pick up Francisco and Wright as they scored four runs in the bottom of the eighth inning. Frank Catalanotto doubled to score two runs and then pitch hitter Joaquin Arias added a double of his own to score a run. Michael Young then grounded out to score one more run. However the Rangers would still fall one run short and lose the game.

The Rangers will try to get back at the Tigers on Tuesday night. It should be an interesting game.

It was another high scoring game between the Texas Rangers and Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night but the bad news was that all the scoring was done by the Red Sox. The Rangers were shutout and they allowed ten runs as the Red Sox had no problems Thursday night.

Tommy Hunter gave up seven hits and nine runs in only 1 2/3 innings.  Yeah, that short of an outing as the Red Sox scored nine runs in the second inning of the game. The middle part of the Rangers bullpen limited the Red Sox to those nine runs until Eddie Guardado gave up two hits and one run in the eighth inning.

As for the Rangers offense, they had six hits and left 19 runners on base while striking out seven times. It was that bad of a night for the offense.

Just to let all the reads know, I will be out of the state for the next couple of weeks as I attend a couple of computer conferences.  I will not be able to blog about the Rangers in that time.  I plan on being back August 12th however.

If you are interested please email my by clicking the contact us link and I can send you some more information.  I will be able to check email while i’m gone so don’t hesitate to send me a message!

Go Rangers!

In a very high scoring game, the Texas Rangers defeated the Seattle Mariners by the score of 11-10 on Tuesday night.  The Ranger scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to pick up the one run victory.

C.J. Wilson ended up getting the victory for the Rangers and is now 1-2 on the year.  In the bottom of the ninth, the Rangers scored two runs on a Ramon Vasquez double to deep center field.  Marlon Byrd had four rbi and now has 22 rbi on the year.  Vasquez also finished the game with four rbi.  Milton Bradley, David Murphy, and Gerald Laird all finished the game with one rbi each.

Luis Mendoza the Rangers started pitched 5 1/3 innings as he gave up nine hits and six runs.  Five of those six runs were earned.  Jamey Wright sucked as he gave up three hits and two runs while only recording two outs.  Wilson who recorded the win also gave up one run.

The four game series is now tied at one game each and the Rangers will try to take the lead with a win on Wednesday.  Rangers Baseball

Eddie Guardado and C.J. Wilson both stunk it up on Wednesday afternoon as they blew a lead and the Chicaco White Sox defeated the Texas Rangers 10-8.  Carlos Quentin hit a three run home run off Wilson on the first pitch her threw for the game winning hit for the White Sox.  Guardado was charged with four of the five runs in the bad 8th inning.

Rangers fans shold have known that something bad was going to happen in the game because starting pitcher Kevin Millwood had to leave the came after only 1 2/3 innings because his groing injury came back.  The bullpen pitched badly and the offense just couldn’t come back in the 9th inning to get the Rangers back in it.

Michael Young had two rbi including a solo home run for the Rangers.  Young wasn’t the only player with two rbi however as Jarrod Saltalamacchia also finished with two runs batted in.  Ian Kinsler, Hank Blalock, and David Murphy all had one rbi in the game as well.

Bad loss for the Rangers who will now be off on Thursday before the start a weekend series with the Oakland Athletics.

The Texas Rangers were blow out by the Chicago White Sox on Tuesay night by the score of 10-2.  The Rangers pitching staff gave up four runs in two different innings and really put the rest of the team in a big hole.  The series is now evened up at one game each with the rubber game to be played on Wednesday.

Luis Mendoza took the loss and is now 2-4 on the year.  Mendoza gave up nine hits and six runs in the contest as he just didn’t have it going tonight.  Dustin Nippert pitched four runs in relief of Mendoza and sucked as well as he gave up four more runs on only three hits.  Three walks and a home run really hurt Nippert.

The only runs for the Rangers came in the 8th inning when Chris Davis hit a solo home run and then Marlon Byrd walked with the bases loaded to score Ian Kinsler.  That was all there was for the Rangers at the plate however as they couldn’t match the White Sox 10 runs.

The Rangers will turn right around and hopefully win the rubber match on Wednesday afternoon.  Rangers Baseball Blog

The Texas Rangers came out of the gates against the Chicago White Sox and defeated them on Monday night by the score of 6-1.  It was a great way for the Rangers to kick off the three game series.  It was a big win for the Rangers who improved to four games over .500 at 52-48 on the year.

Scott Feldman recorded the win after he threw the first six innings of the game.  Feldman gave up four hits and one run as he improved to 4-3 on the season.  Feldman did a very good job against the potent White Sox offense.  Frank Francisco, Eddie Guardado, and Jamey Wright all threw a inning each out of the bullpen.

All but one of the Rangers six runs came via the long ball.  Josh Hamilton hit a home run in the the 3rd inning that was a three run shot.  Hank Blalock then added a two run home run in the 8th inning.  The Rangers added on a insurance run in the 9th inning when Ian Kinsler had a rbi sac fly.

The Texas Rangers came up one run short on Thursday night as they lost to the Los Angeles Angels 11-10.  It was a high scoring game where both offenses combined for 32 hits and 21 runs.  The Rangers had 20 hits compared to the Angels 12.  It’s too bad the offense wasn’t ablt to score more runs with all those hits.

Jamey Wright took the loss after he gave up a rbi single in the 11th inning.  Scott Feldman the Rangers starter for the night was rocked early in the game as he was tagged for six hits and eight runs in only 3 2/3 innings.  After Feldman left the game Wes Littleton pitched the next 3 1/3 innings while giving up two more runs.

Michael Young, Josh Hamilton, and Max Ramirez all had two rbi in the game for the Rangers.  Ramon Vazquez, Marlon Byrd, Chris Davis, and Brandon Boggs all helped out with one rbi each as well.  Hamilton, Byrd, and Ramirez all went deep in the game as well.

The Rangers will now begin a three game weekend series with the Chicago White Sox.  It will be the last series before the all star break so hopefully the team can finish up the first half with a series win.

The Texas Rangers scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning as they beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-4 on Wednesday night.  The Rangers did the unthinkable as they scored three runs off Angels relief pitcher Francisco Rodriguez.  Wow, what a win it was for the Rangers!

Michael Young had a rbi single to get the scoring starting in the 9th inning and then Josh Hamilton hit a walk off two run home run to win the game for the Rangers.  Hamilton has been a stuf all season long and he stepped up once again for the team.  Before the big ninth inning, Jarrod Saltalamacchia was the only Rangers player to have a rbi in the game as he had a rbi single and a rbi sac fly early in the game.

Jamey Wright pitched the eighth and ninth innings to get the win and is now 5-3 on the season.  Rangers starting pitcher Warner Madrigal pitched the first three innings and allowed four hits and one run.  Josh Rupe then tossed the next three innings in the game and gave up one more run.  The Angels scored two more runs off of Frank Francisco as well.  The bullpen really got bailed of the game by Young and Hamilton.

Josh Hamilton had two more rbi and Matt Harrison earned his first victory as the Texas Rangers defeated the Los Angeles Angels by the score of 3-2 on Tuesday evening.  The Rangers only had six hits in the game but they made sure those six hits were enough to beat the mighty division leading Angels.

Hamilton had a rbi sac fly to get the Rangers on the scoreboard in the first inning.  He then added a rbi single in the sixth inning that gave the Rangers the lead for good.  Chris Davis also had a solo home run in the fifth inning.

Harrison picked up his first victory after throwin seven innings and allowing five hits and two runs.  Harrison did a very good job against the Angels lineup that is known to really score some runs.  Harrison’s only mistake of the game was in the fifth inning when Garret Anderson had a two run single.

Eddie Guardado threw a scoreless eighth inning before C.J. Wilson closed the door on the Angels in the ninth to pick up his 22th save of the season.
