Score texas rangers game yesterday

Texas has won each of the past 10 Major League Baseball games started by Hamels, but none bigger than Sunday. It was just a matter of time. Hamels gave up two of his three hits in the first inning as designated hitter Albert Pujols gave the Angels an early lead with a home run to center field. The Rangers got one of the runs back on the bottom of the first against right-hander Garrett Richards, who was pitching on three days' rest.

But Richards kept the Rangers off the board until the fifth, when Texas third baseman Adrian Beltre hit a two-run homer to right field. When that happens, you find out what you are made of, and you saw that in everything they did today. The Jays missed out on home field advantage throughout the playoffs when they lost to the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.

It's probably going to be a pretty good matchup. Happ pitched six strong innings as the Pittsburgh Pirates assured themselves of home field for the wild-card game against the Chicago Cubs with a win over Cincinnati. Third baseman Josh Harrison and catcher Francisco Cervelli each had three hits to help the Pirates, who will host the Cubs on Wednesday in the winner-takes-all game. The Cubs got six strong innings from right-hander Dan Haren and a two-run single in the first inning by first baseman Anthony Rizzo were enough for the Cubs to close out the regular season with a win over Milwaukee.

They are going to be loud there, but we'll be ready. In Los Angeles, left-hander Clayton Kershaw became the first major league pitcher in 15 years to strike out batters in a season during the Dodgers' win over San Diego. Kershaw, who finishes the season with a career-best strikeouts, became the first pitcher to collect strikeouts since the Arizona Diamondbacks' Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling compiled and , respectively, in Breaking down the best potential candidate and a few alternatives for the seven current head coach openings in the NFL.

Baseball's at a standstill for now, but there's plenty more action to come once the new CBA is signed.

With the hot stove on hold, we take a look at whose pennant hopes have risen -- and fallen -- the most so far this winter.

With the lockout looming, teams were looking to lock down big-name free agents. On Nov. Many agents and executives -- not to mention us -- thought signings would be hard to come by before Dec. They couldn't have been more wrong. The Texas Rangers have finalized the contracts for their new half-billion dollar middle infield. But will it be enough to win in a crowded AL West? Texas Rangers manager Chris Woodward got a contract extension Friday that goes through the season and includes a club option for another year after that.

We imagine a world in which free agents picked a team not for the paycheck, but for their own happiness -- and for the good of the game. Full Schedule.
