Rangers manager Jeff Banister was then thrown out by crew chief Joe West for arguing.

Nomar Mazara also homered for the Rangers, whose magic number is three to win their second consecutive division title. “He kind of stutter-stepped and slowed down”.
“From the infield you can’t tell if it’s stuck”.
After Moreland realized he had been tossed from the game, he turned and started to argue before Banister got between his player and the umpire. “We are going to end up with a facility here that will provide a comfortable, seasonable viewing opportunity for the fans of the Rangers as they come to see Major League Baseball and a robust entertainment opportunity that surrounds that ballpark”, said Manfred.
The replay showed the ball had indeed become lodged under the padding. “So it’s plain and simple a ground-rule double”, West told a pool reporter after the game. “But that’s not my call”. Los Angeles, which sits in last place in the AL West, took the final two of a four-game series as its offense, which totaled four runs during a five-game slide last week, broke out behind Albert Pujols and Mike Trout. The Angels went ahead in the seventh when Jefry Marte was hit by a pitch and scored on a two-out double by Carlos Perez.
The Rangers pulled even on Andrus’ shot to center with two outs in the seventh off reliever Cory Rasmus.
Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland had been ejected after taking a called third strike to end the fourth inning. Although the first baseman had some words with home plate umpire Kerwin Danley as he walked back to the dugout, there were no demonstrative actions before the ejection. He passed Rogers Hornsby for 37th on the career list, and is one behind Willie Keeler.
The Texas Rangers revealed more information for “Texas Live!” the $250 million entertainment district Tuesday, across from the current Globe Life Park.
Not good. The Angels are 2-5 in Chacin’s last seven starts and are winless at 0-6 in his last six road starts.
The first, Rangers Republic, is a two-level venue with multiple restaurants and providing interactive games and authentic memorabilia. He lost to Toronto in his last outing, when he allowed three runs and four hits in five innings.
Rangers: Andrus was struck directly on his right (throwing) elbow by Chacin’s pickoff attempt when diving back into second while a baserunner in the third inning. The Halos send righty Daniel Wright to the mound here who will look to improve to 1-3 and lower his woeful 7.05 ERA, while Griffin is 7-4 with a 4.78 mark and will look to play his way into the playoff rotation for the Rangers. He made his Major League Baseball debut with Cincinnati earlier this season.
The Rangers have cooled off of late but will they score enough runs to cover as a runline favorite tonight versus the Angels at 8:05PM ET?

“We’re looking forward to the beginning of building the Texas Live! that will start immediately after we win the World Series”, said Rangers Co-Owner Ray Davis.
