Blowouts Continue

The Texas Rangers are leaving the Indians in the dust today, with the score 9-0 in the top of the 8th. The Rangers have scored 8 of their runs on four home runs. Former Indian Ricardo Rodriguez is shutting down the Tribe on 3 hits and 1 walk. Rodriguez was unimpressive with Cleveland, but in his short stay with the Rangers he's improved his ability to strike out batters. If he turns out to be a decent pitcher, it's another reason to think Texas can win the West.

Update: Rodriguez pitches a complete game shutout, winning 10-0. He was efficient, averaging a little over 12 pitches per inning as he struck out 6 and walked 2.
