The Rangers are Hotter than Texas


Holy crap the Texas Rangers are out of control right now. And that's pretty awesome for Arlington, considering they are holding just a five-game lead in the American League West.

The 56-41 Rangers put another game between themselves and the division rival Los Angeles Angels Tuesday night, extending their winning streak to 12 games with with a 7-0 victory. This marks their longest streak since back in 1991 when the team won 14 straight.

One highlight? Alexi Ogando tossed eight beautiful, scoreless innings for his tenth win of the year. The righty surrendered just four hits while fanning five and walking three to lower his ERA to 2.72. Darren Oliver then worked a scoreless ninth to wrap up the victory.

Meanwhile, Josh Hamilton went 3-for-5 with a home run while Adrian Beltre and Endy Chavez each contributed two hits and two RBI. Business as usual.

The Rangers will attempt consecutive win no. 13 this evening in the second contest of their three-game series against the Halos in Anaheim with Derrek Holland on the hill facing Dan Haren at 10:05pm ET.
