A Weekend Wrap Up

• Rich Harden returned to the mound Saturday, giving up one run in seven innings and keeping his pitch count in the 70’s. – a welcome change from the high numbers that had hindered his success. To make room for Harden, the Rangers opted to put Scott Feldman in the bullpen.
• Cliff Lee deserves more run support – The Rangers only scored one run for Lee Sunday afternoon in a 4-1 complete game loss. This time. The Angels took two out of three. The Rangers have not scored more than three runs for Lee in his first five starts with the team.
• The Rangers acquired infielders Jorge Cantu and Cristian Guzman to fill an infield that now features no Ian Kinsler (DL) or Chris Davis (sent to AAA).
• Jarrod Saltalamacchia was traded Saturday – three years to the day after he was the centerpiece of the Mark Teixeira trade to the Braves. In the deal, the Rangers got Elvis Andrus, Neftali Feliz and Matt Harrison. Need I say more?
