Re: Texas Rangers (MLB 2K7)
Texas Lineup Continues to Struggle in Loss
A.J. Burnett remains undefeated after beating TEX
Rangers 1, Blue Jays 3

A.J. Burnett struck out three Texas hitters in the effort
Arlington, TX -- Unlike the previous game against Toronto, the Rangers actually decided to play baseball in the second matchup of the series. Michael Young gave Texas the early lead with his eighth dinger of 2007, but that would be the only run the Rangers would score in the ball game. A.J. Burnett was solid on the hill, and struck out three en route to his fifth victory of the year.
In the sixth, Aaron Hill's RBI-double knotted the score at one. The next batter, Royce Clayton, hit his second home run in as many days, driving in two runs to put the Jays ahead. B.J. Ryan would close out the ball game for his fourth save of the year, handing the Rangers their third loss in a row.
Adding to the loss, Ian Kinsler was 0-4 on the day, snapping his 21-game hit streak.
