RANGERS ANDRUS and KINSLER bring the LUMBER to support Starter Alexi OGANDO and TEXAS put the 7-game "L" Streak in the Shredder...A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report "RANGERS Alarm Clock goes off...we are back in the W Column" #TEXAShardball

The Texas Rangers first had an Only-Players Meeting before yesterday's loss but they just needed to get back to Rangers Baseball. Skip Wash moved the Line Up Card around low and behold the Rangers snap out of that seven-game losing streak to beat the Rays 7-1.

It started with the Offense as 2b Ian Kinsler and SS Elvis Andrus brought the wood. They both combined to go 4 for 8 with six ribbies and they scored three runs. On top of that Kinsler goes Yard for a Solo Bomb and Andrus goes Yard for a Two-Run Bomb for good measure. They also get a gem from Rangers Starter Alexi Ogando. The Big "O" Rangers Edition went five strong allowing a run on two hits as he issued a free pas struck out four Rays Hitters. The Bomb he gave up was a solo job to Rays Back Stop Jose Labaton.

The Rangers jumped all over Rays Starter Jeremy Hellickson as he gets the "L". He was chased in the 3rd inning after giving up five runs on four hits as he walked and struck out just one hitter. He was also the victim of those Two Bombs hit by Andrus and Kinsler.

The Rangers now pull into a tie again with the Rays for the #1 slot in the Wild Card as the Tribe stay 1/2 game behind as they beat the Royals.
