Hamilton homers to lead Rangers over Indians
Josh Hamilton homered to stretch his home hitting streak to 26 games, C.J. Wilson pitched six strong innings and the Texas Rangers got plenty of offense in a 12-1 rout of the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.
Vladimir Guerrero added a two-run homer in a five-run sixth inning, Nelson Cruz and David Murphy also went deep, and Joaquin Arias had a career-high four RBIs for Texas.
The game was delayed for 16 minutes in the fifth inning when a male spectator fell about 30 feet from the second deck while attempting to catch a foul ball. Paramedics tended to the man and he was taken by ambulance to John Peter Smith Hospital, where a team spokesman said he was responsive and able to move all of his extremities.
