Rangers feasting on Angels pitching

The Rangers have hit five home runs in five innings, including three in the fifth, to take a 9-1 lead over the first-place Angels. Included in the barrage was a three-run homer by Josh Hamilton in the first inning, his first homer since July 17, and a solo shot in the fifth by Omar Vizquel, his first homer since Sept. 30, 2007. The 42-year-old is 4-for-4. The Rangers have gone back-to-back twice in the game, with Hank Blalock following Hamilton and Michael Young following Vizquel. Taylor Teagarden started the fifth with a solo shot. Scott Feldman hasn't had an easy night, needed 86 pitches to get through four innings. He has benefitted from two 4-6-3 double plays. -- Jeff Wilson
