Rangers crank up offense in big win over Tribe
Baseball Betting Lines
07/06/2010 -
Arlington, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - C.J. Wilson allowed one run in six solid
innings, and Joaquin Arias knocked in a career-high four runs, as the Texas
offense finally woke up in a 12-1 rout of the Cleveland Indians.
Amidst the game was a scary moment, as a fan fell from the upper deck into the
lower bowl during the fifth inning in an attempt to grab a foul ball. The game
was halted for 16 minutes while medical crews tended to the fan, who was
luckily stabilized, responsive and able to move all his extremities after
being transported to a local hospital.
Wilson (7-4) yielded just two hits and two walks while fanning four for the
Rangers, who scored more than three times for the first time all month in
winning just their second game out of six July contests. Nelson Cruz, Vladimir
Guerrero and Josh Hamilton all homered, while Andres Blanco had three hits and
two RBI in the win.
Jayson Nix hit his fourth homer in as many games for the Indians, who came
into the game with seven wins in nine games. Justin Masterson (3-8) yielded
seven runs, nine hits and three walks in 5 1/3 frames to take the loss.
The Rangers scored twice in the fourth and five times in the sixth to take a
seven-run lead.
Texas loaded the bases in the fourth with one out after Guerrero was hit by a
pitch, Hamilton singled and Justin Smoak was intentionally walked. Matt
Treanor struck out swinging, but Blanco plated two with a double to right.
In the sixth, a walk to Smoak and singles by Blanco and Julio Borbon loaded
the bases with one out for Arias, who plated all three with a double to left.
Hector Ambriz came in from the bullpen but yielded a two-out, two-run homer to
Guerrero for an 8-1 contest.
Cruz's solo shot in the seventh added to Texas' lead, and Arias and Ian
Kinsler each contributed an RBI single in the same frame to make it 11-1.
David Murphy homered in the eighth to account for the final margin.
Nix remained hot at the plate early, blasting his third homer in five at-bats
with one down in the opening frame for a 1-0 Indians lead.
Hamilton answered leading off the second, sending his 21st home run over the
fence in left-center to tie the game.
