Downward Spiral Continues for Kansas City
The Texas Rangers defeated the Kansas City Royals, 6-3, at The Ballpark in Arlington. Texas catcher Ivan Rodriguez had a superb performance. He went 2 for 4 with a home run and a triple. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Esteban Loaiza earned the win for Texas. He lasted 7.2 innings, allowing 3 runs on 9 hits, while striking out 5. With the win, he raised his record to 8-12. B.J. Ryan notched his 23rd save of the season.

With Texas trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the third, Rodriguez hit a curveball from Casey Fossum for a 2-run triple. It was his 4th triple of the season and put the Rangers ahead, 3-2.

"Losing makes me cranky," said Kansas City manager Aaron Briskman. "And right now there's a big black storm cloud above my head."

The Royals have now dropped 13 straight.
