TEAMS: Texas Rangers, Milwaukee Brewers, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants
Adrian Gonzalez had a career-best (and tied a club record) with six hits Tuesday night, while the San Diego Padres cracked out 22 in all, for their best offensive show of the season.During their 13-6 ass-whooping of the Milwaukee Brewers, Gonzalez managed base hits in the first, fifth, sixth, seventh and ninth innings, and doubled in the third. The team enjoyed at least two hits in every inning aside from the fourth.
His bases-loaded single off lefty reliever Mitch Stetter in the sixth helped bust the game wide open, which is unusual since the left-handed first baseman came into the game batting .190 off left-handed pitching.
Pads Hall of Famer Tony Gywnn went 6-for-7 in an extra-innings game against the San Francisco Giants back in 1993, and even got to witness Gonzelez's feat live from the broadcast booth. Special.

Rangers 4, Cleveland 1 (F)
The Rangers took the series with the day game win. Scott Feldman fought to get through six innings, but did the job (as usual. He's a beast on the road). Four Rangers had multiple-hit games. And Neftali Feliz was sure impressive. Click here for a replay of the in-game chat.

Is Josh Hamilton's bat starting to come around?
I know that's a strange question, especially after Josh Hamilton hit into a double play with the bases loaded in the first inning on Tuesday.
But the numbers show a guy improving, though his average is just .239. He was hitting .220 after Aug. 2. In eight games, he's managed to increase his average by 19 points.
He's done it by batting .379 (11-for-22) in his last eight...

Cowlishaw game is back!
We had a hiatus this weekend thanks to scheduling conflicts, but we're back this week. Speaking of Tim Cowlishaw, if you haven't read his column from Monday about himself (in relation to Josh Hamilton), you can do so here. The Rangers open a 3-game set with the Indians tonight and it's Dustin Nippert taking Vicente Padilla's spot in the rotation.

Purke Watch Enters the Home Stretch
The Texas Rangers have until 11:59pm on Monday to sign their 1st round pick, Klein left-handed pitcher Matt Purke. While a good number of you Spitblood readers are Rangers fans who would like to see the club add another quality pitcher (I say 'another' because they all of a sudden actually have a few!), you'd probably love to see him not sign by the deadline and instead...

Mr. 1.000 and MVP
Last night on the “Weekly Digest” Howard and I spent a great deal of time on the Yankees and the AL East. I brought up Mark Teixeira, a signing that both of us agree has been a huge difference between the Yanks and Sox. I went as far to say that I believe Teixeira could [...]
