And it still wasn't enough to get the Detroit Tigers a win. David Murphy put Texas ahead for good with a three-run home run just over the wall in right field in the sixth inning, and the Rangers spoiled the second three-hom...

Murphy put Texas ahead for good with a drive just over the wall in right field in the sixth inning, and the Rangers spoiled the second three-homer game of Cabrera's career with an 11-8 victory on Sunday night.

Yu Darvish says it's not the first great opposing pitcher he's faced, and won't be his last. True on all counts. These showdowns don't come along every day, though. And this one — the AL's strikeout king against his potential heir — is as enticing as they come. The hard-throwing right-handers from De...

(AP) — Rangers manager Ron Washington kept calm and stuck with his reliable closer even as Joe Nathan pitched himself into serious trouble. Nathan delivered for his toughest save of the year after Adrian Beltre hit a tiebreaking home run in the 10th inning and Mitch Moreland followed with his second of the game to help Texas edge the Oakla...

PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Toronto Blue Jays pitcher J.A. Happ was released Wednesday from a Florida hospital, just a day after he was hit on the head by a line drive, and hopes for a quick return to the mound. Bayfront Medical Center said in a statement that Happ was discharged after being upgraded from fair to good condition. Happ was taken there after...

Beltre broke out of an extended slump just as manager Ron Washington had predicted, with a three-run double among his four hits, backing eight scoreless innings by Derek Holland in a 7-0 win over the Boston Red Sox o...

The home-plate umpire later admitted Maddon was right. Despite umpire Marty Foster's postgame admission, Nathan still had his...

Even against the AL West rival Los Angeles Angels and 20-game winner Jered Weaver. Lance Berkman and David Murphy homered in the first off Weaver, putting the Rangers ahead to stay on the way to a 7-3 victory Sunday night afte...

He had to wait awhile for another chance to swing the bat, though. Then he homered again. Pujols went deep in his only two plate appearances that weren't intentional walks to offset another tough day for Josh Hamilton in his second game back in Texas...

Darvish was one out from a perfect game when Marwin Gonzalez grounded a clean single through the pitcher's legs, and Texas beat the Houston Astros 7-0 on Tuesday night.

(AP) — Lance Berkman knows he's being watched with some trepidation while going through spring training with the Texas Rangers. "Kind of a house of cards deal with me," he said Wednesday.
