Lester Dazzles in Texas Win
The Texas Rangers got a magnificent performance from pitcher Jon Lester, who muffled the Baltimore offense en route to a tight 3-1 Rangers win at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The Rangers bumped their record to 63-33 with this latest triumph.

Baltimore had little success against Lester and his cutter. Lester tossed 93 pitches over 8 innings for the Rangers.

"If you pitch well, you give yourself some opportunities," said Texas manager Eric Ferraro.
