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 were able to tie up their series with the Houston Astros at one game each with a 3-2 victory on Wednesday night.  Max Ramirez had the game winning hit which was a two run home run in the fourth inning.  There was no more scoring done in the game after the fourth inning which was odd to see for the Rangers and Astros.

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.
