Highlights From Wednesday: Royals 5 Rangers 2

  • Michael Young recorded two hits, extending his hit streak to 12 games.
  • Young’s RBI triple in the sixth inning gave him 44 for career, tying him with Ruben Sierra for the most in Rangers history. I’m going to go out on a limb and say he’ll definitely break that one! Josh Hamilton’s hitting streak is now at eight games.
  • Justin Smoak, who has been struggling, connected on an RBI single.
  • Former Fort Worth Cat Luke Hochevar pitched eight innings in the Royals first win in six games against the Rangers this season.
  • Scott Feldman still isn’t pitching like the Rangers know he is capable. Despite going 6 2/3 innings, his ledger was marked with seven hits and four earned runs and no strikeouts.
  • Because the Rangers have off days Thursday and the Monday, starter Derek Holland pitched the eighth, simply to get work during the nine days between his starts.
