Rangers Beat Reds 7-2 Behind Berkman's RBIs

SURPRISE (AP/CBSDFW.COM) - Lance Berkman homered and drove in three runs, while Alexi Ogando pitched six scoreless innings as the Rangers topped the Reds 7-2.

Craig Gentry tripled in the first and scored on Berkman's sacrifice fly. Berkman's fourth-inning homer landed in the Rangers' bullpen beyond the right-field fence with Gentry aboard.

Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo left his start after getting hit on his pitching hand by David Murphy's line drive. Preliminary X-rays detected no break. Arroyo allowed three runs and nine hits in 5 1-3 innings before being led off the field by a trainer.

Ogando, set to be a starter this season after spending last year in the bullpen, limited the Reds to three hits. He walked one and struck out five, throwing 56 strikes in 82 pitches.
