Rangers Squelch Rays Offense in Shutout Win
In a low-scoring clash between Texas and Tampa Bay, pitcher Jon Lester was a difference-maker. The left-hander earned player of the game honors for Texas in the 3-0 win. Texas is now 90-60, 5 games up in the American League West Division.

The Rangers got a big at-bat from catcher Matt Wieters. For the game, Wieters was 1-3 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the fifth, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 9th home run of the season gave Texas a 2-0 lead.

Wieters told the media after that game that the mood in the clubhouse is "extremely positive" after a win like that.
