That was a Padilla-esque outing from Dustin Nippert last night, stretches of dominance with one awful inning mixed in.  Although given the way the Rangers were swinging the bat last night, even if that meltdown could have been contained, it probably wouldn't have mattered.

Jeff Wilson's game story focuses on Nippert's outing and how one inning messed it up for him.

Ian Kinsler starts a two-game rehab stint today, and is expected to be activated Friday for the game against Boston.  I'm guessing that Julio Borbon gets sent down if Nelson Cruz's ankle is better.
