Holliday Slugs Rangers to 8-0 Win
|
The Texas Rangers thumped the Houston Astros, 8-0, at Minute Maid Park. Matt Holliday was a big reason his team got the win. Holliday was 2-3 with 2 home runs and a walk, while scoring 3 and driving in 3. The Rangers improved their record to 51-56 with the win over Houston.
Luis Hernandez had a big 2-run home run for the Rangers in the top of the fourth inning. With Texas leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a sinker from Nate Cornejo, who finished 4th in the NL in wins with 17 last year, and punished it. The result was his 19th home run of the season, which put the Rangers on top, 3-0.
"I wish every win came this easy," said Hernandez.
