Recap: LA jumped out to an early lead and was actually leading in the 5th before Texas could even get on the board. Josh Hamilton had an answer in the bottom of the 5th, he hit his 11th HR to the upper deck in RF, which tied the game at 2. Andruw Jones would answer with his own 2 run shot in the bottom of the 6th which gave them the lead 4-2, which the would hold onto. Francisco recorded his 18th save of the season and newly called up Mike Hinckley would come on to get his 1st victory of the year.
