Rangers Get Past Tampa Bay for 3-2 Win
The Texas Rangers rode a solid performance from 31-year-old starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. to a win, beating the Tampa Bay Rays, 3-2, at Tropicana Field. McCullers Jr., now 5-5, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 4, walking 1, and allowing 2 runs. With the victory, the Rangers upped their record to 31-30.

The game was at a stalemate until third baseman Tony Silva came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing Tampa Bay pitcher Héctor Saldaña, he hit a 1-2 changeup for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Texas on top, 3-2.

"Lance gets tougher when he has to, makes a big pitch when he has to," said Texas skipper Ron Robinson.
