Jennings had already given up eight hits and five runs in the first two innings of the game.  Jennings dropped his record to 0-5 on the season.  I really doubt we will see Jennings in the starting rotation once he does come back from this nasty injury.

Scott Feldman and Joaquin Benoit both gave up two more runs each as they pitched in relief for the Rangers.  Jamey Wright and Frank Francisco both pitched an inning each as well and did not allow a run to cross the plate.

At the plate for the Rangers it was five guys all recording one RBI each.  Michael Young, Josh Hamilton, David Murphy, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, and Ramon Vazquez all had one RBI each.

Ian Kinsler was ejected from the game in the first inning when he argued a called third strike.
