Saturday morning Rangers things

Good morning, everyone...

Texas beat the Tigers yesterday, 5-1.

Jeff Wilson's game story talks about Cole Hamels' dominance on the mound yesterday.

The Rangers' website game story also is effusive on the work of Cole Hamels.

Gerry Fraley has his "Three Takeaways" from the game, and says that Hamels pitched like an ace in stopping the Rangers' losing streak yesterday.

Stefan Stevenson writes that Yu Darvish was impressive in his rehab start yesterday for Round Rock.

Darvish says he threw better yesterday than in his first rehab start.

Anthony Ranaudo, called up yesterday, will give the Rangers another long man while filling the role Phil Klein had occupied, according to Jeff Banister.

Ranaudo says he's in "a really good place physically and mentally".

Pudge Rodriguez, who will be on the Hall of Fame ballot this year, says he "probably" deserves to be in the Hall.

The Rangers' website notes include items on Josh Hamilton, Shin-Soo Choo, and Doug Brocail.

The S-T's notes talk about Anthony Ranaudo, A.J. Griffin, and the Rangers catchers.
