39-31 - Rangers Show Resolve Behind Return of Boomstick

The game started off pretty well. Then the game became terrible. Then the Rangers found their bats and won a baseball game in fairly cathartic fashion.

Suddenly the sport of baseball isn't so bad.

Player of the Game: Nelson Cruz drove in as many runs as the Rangers scored all last weekend by himself tonight.

(Special PotG nod to A.J. Pierzynski for going 2-3 with a walk and three runs driven in including a big two-run HR in the 2nd inning to help us all unclench.)
