Rangers 11, Tigers 7
The Texas Rangers could very likely be the AL West champions by time they play their next game at home.
Texas (82-63) heads out on a 10-game trip with a season-high 10-game division lead and its magic number at eight after an 11-7 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night, and Oakland's loss at Kansas City. The Rangers have won a majors-best seven games in a row.
"We've set ourselves up," manager Ron Washington said. "Now we've got to go continue playing our brand of baseball. I like our brand of baseball."
