Rangers Club Around Washburn (April 6)

The Rangers showed why they are one of the most dangerous hitting clubs in baseball, making the most of eight hits in an 8-6 victory over the Angels.

Six of the Rangers' eight hits went for extra bases, including a three-run homerun by 1B Mark Teixeira to blow it open in the third inning, and a two-run double by LF Kevin Mench to chase Angels' starter Jarrod Washburn.

Washburn had very little luck against the Rangers' lineup, allowing six hits, seven earned runs. two homeruns and five walks in 3.1 innings.

The Angels scored five runs in the sixth, thanks in part to an error by Mench. The inning was capped off by a three-run homerun by 1B Darin Erstad, but it was too little, too late.

MLB Notes (April 6)

The Atlanta Braves took apart the Florida Marlins' starter Dontrelle Willis, scoring six runs off of the young pitcher in a 12-5 victory. Much of the scoring came courtesy of C Johnny Estrada, with two homeruns and five RBI. But it may have come at a price, as offseason pickup SP Tim Hudson had to leave the game in the second inning with pain in his elbow. Hudson was diagnosed with tendinitis in his right elbow, and was placed on the 15-day DL after the game. He isn't expected to miss more than two weeks. Career minor leaguer Mike Porzio was called up to take Hudson's spot in the rotation...

The San Diego Padres won a wild back-and-forth game, 10-8, over the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies tied the game at 6-6 in the bottom of the ninth, then each team scored twice in the tenth, before the Padres finally secured the win with two doubles and a triple in the 11th inning. Rockies' IF Desi Relaford hurt himself running the bases after doubling in the bottom of the 11th inning, coming up lame. He was placed on the DL by Colorado after the game and is expected to miss at least a month...

San Francisco Giants' starter Brett Tomko threw a two-hit, complete game shutout to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 2-0...

Five homeruns, including two by LF Hideki Matsui, kept the New York Yankees in the game, but it took a 12th inning game-winning single by SS Derek Jeter to beat the Boston Red Sox, 7-6...

Oakland starter Justin Duchscherer allowed just one run to get the complete game victory in a 4-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles...

Washington Nationals' 3B Vinny Castilla crushed a three-run homerun in the tenth inning off of Cincinnati Reds' reliever Miguel Saladin to lead the Nats' to a 7-4 win...

New Houston Astro RF Jermaine Dye keyed an eighth inning comeback with his two-run double off of St. Louis Cardinals' closer Jason Isringhausen as the Astros scored three to win 5-3. It was Dye's second double of the game...

The Arizona Diamonbacks could manage just two hits against three Chicago Cubs' pitchers, including wild starter Kerry Wood, who allowed just one hit and struck out seven, but also walked six batters. The Cubs won, 3-1.
