MCCARTHY PITCHES GEM

Brandon McCarthy couldn't pitched much better today, easily his best start of the year. In fact, he didn't allow a hit until 4.2 IP. He got the run support from the Rangers as well and improves his record to 2-1 while dropping his ERA down to a modest 2.36. Marlon Byrd had an impressive day going 4/4 and driving in 2 runs. He was named the Player of the Game.

FELDMAN, KINSLER CARRY RANGERS

Scott Feldman did just what he does when the Rangers use him, shut down opponents. Ian Kinsler had his best game of the season, delivering 2 triples and smacking his 1st HR of the season.

"It's good to see him to start to swing the bat, his defense had been there, his timing was just off a little."

Kinsler and Young both had HR's, they went Back-to-Back for the first time this year.
