Cruz leads Rangers’ offensive attack on Jays
Apparently, the off-day was really kind to the Rangers. I think being home helped too.
The 1st inning was a beaut. After Derek Holland struck out the side to start the game, the offense jumped right on Toronto’s starter, Brandon Morrow, and didn’t even let him get out of the 1st inning, scoring six runs on five hits. Three of those runs came in on a Nelson Cruz...

Cruz hits grand slam in 13-6 win over Halos
The Rangers only scored two runs on five hits yesterday. That’s just not like them, and I think Friday’s rain delay and late ending factored into that. They looked none too weary tonight as they hit up the Angels for 13 runs on 19 hits.
Four of those hits (and four of the RBI) belonged to Nelson Cruz, who made quite the statement with a two-out grand slam in the 3rd...

Nelson Cruz and Streaking
Nelson Cruz is a very good baseball player. He doesn’t do everything in the game perfectly. Nelson Cruz isn’t an outstanding defensive right fielder, he doesn’t have exceptional speed, he doesn’t hit for a high average (career .268 average), and he doesn’t get on base very well (career .328 OBP), but he is still a very good baseball player. Mostly, the reason that Nelson...
