Rangers crank up offense in big win over Tribe

Baseball Betting Lines

07/06/2010 - Arlington, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - C.J. Wilson allowed one run in six solid innings, and Joaquin Arias knocked in a career-high four runs, as the Texas offense finally woke up in a 12-1 rout of the Cleveland Indians.

Amidst the game was a scary moment, as a fan fell from the upper deck into the lower bowl during the fifth inning in an attempt to grab a foul ball. The game was halted for 16 minutes while medical crews tended to the fan, who was luckily stabilized, responsive and able to move all his extremities after being transported to a local hospital.

Wilson (7-4) yielded just two hits and two walks while fanning four for the Rangers, who scored more than three times for the first time all month in winning just their second game out of six July contests. Nelson Cruz, Vladimir Guerrero and Josh Hamilton all homered, while Andres Blanco had three hits and two RBI in the win.

Jayson Nix hit his fourth homer in as many games for the Indians, who came into the game with seven wins in nine games. Justin Masterson (3-8) yielded seven runs, nine hits and three walks in 5 1/3 frames to take the loss.

The Rangers scored twice in the fourth and five times in the sixth to take a seven-run lead.

Texas loaded the bases in the fourth with one out after Guerrero was hit by a pitch, Hamilton singled and Justin Smoak was intentionally walked. Matt Treanor struck out swinging, but Blanco plated two with a double to right.

In the sixth, a walk to Smoak and singles by Blanco and Julio Borbon loaded the bases with one out for Arias, who plated all three with a double to left. Hector Ambriz came in from the bullpen but yielded a two-out, two-run homer to Guerrero for an 8-1 contest.

Cruz's solo shot in the seventh added to Texas' lead, and Arias and Ian Kinsler each contributed an RBI single in the same frame to make it 11-1. David Murphy homered in the eighth to account for the final margin.

Nix remained hot at the plate early, blasting his third homer in five at-bats with one down in the opening frame for a 1-0 Indians lead.

Hamilton answered leading off the second, sending his 21st home run over the fence in left-center to tie the game.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
