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

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.

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.

Besides Young’s rbi in the ninth inning, the Rangers got one rbi each from Chris Davis and Jarrod Saltalamacchia.  Davis and Saltalamacchia both had rbi singles in the second inning off of Joba Chamberlain.

Frank Francisco even his recorded at 2-2 as he picked up the win in relief for the Ranges. C.J. Wilson was able to pick up his 19th save of the season in the ninth inning.  Rangers starting pitcher Kevin Millwood lasted five innings to get the no decision.  Millwood gave up five hits and one while striking out six Yankees.

The Ranges will now go for the three game sweep against the Yankees on Wedneday.  Rangers Blog

Scott Feldman pitched 5 2/3 innings to pick up the victory and improve to 2-3 on the season.  Feldman gave up four hits and one run, three walks, three strike outs, and gave up one home run.  Pretty quality start for Feldman.

The hightlight of the night however was the Rangers bullpen.  Three relief pitchers combined to throw 3 1/3 innings and not allow a hit or run.  Frank Francisco, Jamey Wright, and C.J. Wilson all pitched wonderfully.  Wilson notched his 18th save of the season in the game as well.

Josh Hamilton and Chris Davis supplied both rbi’s for the Rangers.  Hamilton had a rbi single in the third inning and Davis had a rbi double in the fourth inning for the Rangers.  Not the best night at the plate, but it was good enough to beat the Yankees.

Besides the two run home run my Ramirez in the fourth inning, the Rangers got a rbi sac fly in the first inning from Ramon Vazquez.  The Rangers were out hit in the game 9-7 but they made the most of their hits.  Or I should say Ramirez mad the most of his.

Scott Feldman got the start for the Rangers on the mound and only pitched four innings.  Feldman gave up six hits and two runs in the game.  Feldman also had two walks and two strike outs in the game.  Luis Mendoza did a wonderful job as he pitched three innings of relief after Feldman left the game.  Mendoza allowed three hits but did not allow a run to cross the plate.  Eddie Guardado pitched a scoreless eighth inning before C.J. Wilson shut down the Astros for his 16th save of the season.

Wilson blew another game as he was charged with two runs in the top of the ninth inning that tyed the game at 4-4.  However, thanks to a Michael Young rbi single that scored Ian Kinsler, the Rangers were able to come back and beat the Braves 5-4.

I’m not sure what is up with Wilson and I really hope that it is just a slump that will last these past two games.  Jamey Wright actually gave up the tying run in the ninth inning on a sacrafice fly but the run was still charged to Wilson.  Wright was charged with the blown save but picked up the win to improve his record to 4-2 on the season.

Scott Feldman actually pitched a pretty game as he pitched the first seven innings of the game and only gave up five hits and two runs.  Feldman left the came and Eddie Guardado came in and pitched a scoreless eighth inning just as he was supposed to.  Feldman and Guardado did their jobs that is for sure, Wilson and Wright however did not.

Brandon Boggs hit his third home run of the season which was a three run home run in the sixth inning to lead the Rangers with three rbi.  Young had the other two runs batted in for the Rangers.

Good series win for the Rangers as they took two out of three games against the Braves.  They will now play the Washington Nationals this weekend.  The Rangers should win two out of three game in that series I think.

Wilson had a very dissapointing outing in the ninth inning as he gave up three runs and the Texas Rangers lost to the Atlanta Braves by the score of 5-2.  It just wasn’t Wilson’s night as he had a very bad outing while taking the loss.

Rangers starting pitcher Eric Hurley lasted five innings and gave up five hits and two runs.  One of the hits was a home run in the first inning that Chipper Jones hit off of Hurley.  The middle bullpen for the Rangers pitched pretty good as Frank Francisco, Jamey Wright, and Eddie Guardado all pitched scoreless innings before Wilson messed things up in the ninth inning.

At the plate for the Rangers Gerald Laird had a rbi single in the third inning and Brandon Boggs had a rbi infield single in the sixth inning.  That was all the Rangers could get going against the Braves pitching staff.  Not the kind of outing I was expecting out of the Rangers to be honest.
