Highlights From Last 3 Games...

Tuesday – Athletics 7 Rangers 6

• Five RBI’s for Vladimir Guerrero, including a grand slam in the third inning, forcing Oakland starter Vin Mazzaro, who walked three to load the bases. At the time, the blast put the Rangers within 5-4. Guerrero also singled home a run in the fifth to make it 7-5.
• With a single in the first inning, Michael Young tied Rafael Palmeiro for second in Rangers’ history with 1,692 hits. Pudge Rodriguez lead with 1, 747 hits as a Ranger.
• After giving up five runs in two innings, Rangers starter Scott Feldman recovered to pitch seven innings, retiring the last 12 batters he faced.
  
  Monday – Rangers 4 Athletics 2
• In his return to the Oakland mound, Rich Harden didn’t allow a hit until a double to Rajai Davis with one out in the sixth inning. Harden surrendered two hits and struck out nine in seven innings in his most successful start of the season.
• Michael Young had three hits. Hopefully, the success at the plate will help him refocus in the field.
• Justin Smoak hit his second career homer in the ninth.
• Ron Washington got ejected in the second inning after the umpires conferred and reversed a call, ruling that Harden failed to touch first base on an Eric Chavez ball.
  
  Sunday – Rangers 3 Mariners 1 (11)
• With two of the top three ERA guys in the league pitching (C.J. Wilson & Doug Fister), the Rangers’ first hit came on a single by catcher Max Ramirez in the sixth.
• The Rangers tied the game 1-1 in the ninth on a David Murphy RBI single following an Elvis Andrus walk and steal of second to lead off the inning.
• The Rangers scored two runs in the top of the 11th inning on a Julio Borbon single, an Andrus bunt single and a sacrifice fly by Murphy. Andrus scored the third Ranger run as the result of a wild pitch.
• Neftali Feliz got three easy outs on his 22nd birthday.
