The Rangers running their way to a second straight win without Nelson Cruz. Texas stealing six bases, half of them by Leonys Martin in an 8-3 win over the Angels. Martin and Elvis Andrus sparking the offense from the top two spots in the order, combining for five hits, five steals, and five runs scored.
Yu Darvish allows homers to the first to LA batters, but then gives up just one more run over seven innings to earn his 11th win of the year. Coupled with another loss by the A's, the Rangers are now just a game back in the AL West.
