What are the odds the Rangers' offense can come back from a 7-2 deficit, assuming Jason Jennings and whoever follows can hold Arizona in check? Not good, even though the Rangers have six hits after five turns at bat.
Speaking of not good, Matt Harrison was not good. He allowed seven runs in 3 2/3 innings as he consistently fell behind hitters. The left-hander also walked four.
The Rangers appear to be headed to a fifth straight loss, which would match their longest skid of the season. The first came in early April.

No one had Matt Harrison only lasting 3 2/3 innings. His line: 7 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 4 BB, 2 K, 85 pitches. Joltin' Joe Lovitto was the closest. He had Harrison going 4.2 innings and allowing 5 runs on 10 hits. Still, no one gets the grand prize.
McCool, Stan, Dominic in Alpine, KdaddyO, Patrick A, Rett Davis, Travis in Waco, Drew MrHand and Jimbo had the Rangers bullpen giving up...

Manager Ron Washington has said that he wants to ease Frank Francisco back into the bullpen mix since he's coming off a DL stint. So for the second time, Francisco was pitching in a late-inning situation, but not as the closer.
Francisco pitched a scoreless eighth (leaving one runner stranded after a leadoff double in a bit of a stressful inning) and C.J. Wilson got a 1-2-3 ninth...

Former Chicago Cubs star Ryne Sandberg says Sammy Sosa doesn't belong in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
"I don't think so," Sandberg told ESPN Radio 1000 in Chicago on Tuesday. "Part of being in the Hall of Fame, they use the word integrity in describing a Hall of Famer, in the logo of the Hall of Fame, and I think there are going to be quite a few players that...
