Rays Sunk by Rangers
The home crowd had a good time watching the Tampa Bay Rays and Texas Rangers get after it.

The Texas Rangers overcame a pretty good performance by Tampa Bay second baseman Ismael Ramírez, beating the Rays, 6-2, at Globe Life Park in Arlington. Ramírez went 3 for 4 with a double and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI. The winner was Texas reliever Daniel Gomez, now 5-1. The loser was Orlando Estrada.

The Rangers got a big at-bat from catcher Shigenobu Ito. For the game, Ito went 1-4 with a double. In the bottom of the sixth, with runners on 1st and 3rd, he stroked a run-scoring double. His 19th double of the season gave Texas a 2-1 lead.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Ito told the Texas Today. "It's as simple as that."

The first-place Rangers, at 73-68, now lead their division by 2½ games.
