Moreland Homer Gives Rangers A Win: Rangers 7 Blue Jays 6

  • Mitch Moreland's leadoff home run onto Green's Hill in the seventh inning sealed the Rangers' 7-6 victory after Juan Rivera tied the game off Cody Eppley in the top of that inning.
  • In his second Major League appearance, Eppley was credited with the victory.
  • Derek Holland struggled and was not able to complete any 1-2-3 innings. The Blue Jays scored two runs on a walk and three singles.
  • But in the bottom of the third, the Rangers exploded for six runs that would carry them through the game until Moreland's game-winning long ball.  Elvis Andrus singled home Yorvit Torreabla and Ian Kinsler, who reached on an error and walk respectively.
  • Michael Young started another hit streak with a two-RBI double. Andrian Beltre absorbed an HBP before Nelson Cruz hit an RBI single. Mike Napoli brought home the final two runs on his own double.
  • Darren O'Day landed on the 60-day DL Wednesday with a torn labrum in his left hip.
