Indians, Rangers continue set in Texas

Baseball Betting Lines

07/21/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Slowly creeping up on the Detroit Tigers in the American League Central, the Cleveland Indians shoot for their third straight victory tonight as they take on the Texas Rangers in the third of a four-game set at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.

On Friday the Tribe got a strong outing from starter Fausto Carmona, who extended his personal winning streak to four games as the visitors picked up the 3-2 victory in the Lone Star State.

Carmona gave up just three hits over eight scoreless innings as Cleveland defeated the Rangers for the sixth consecutive time. Although Joe Borowski surrendered a pair of runs in his only inning of work, he still managed to post his 28th save of the campaign.

Travis Hafner knocked in a pair as he homered for the visitors and Victor Martinez scored once following one of his three doubles.

As for the Rangers, who were playing without Michael Young while he was attending the funeral of his wife's grandmother, Desi Relaford and Mark Teixeira scored the only runs for the squad, now 15 1/2 games out of contention in the AL West. Brandon McCarthy, who has not won since May, made it through 5 2/3 innings and permitted three runs on six hits and three walks, while striking out four.

Cleveland hurler Cliff Lee tries to even his season record at 6-6 when he takes the hill for the Tribe in tonight's contest. Lee, a left-hander out of Arkansas, lost his second straight outing on Monday when he gave up seven runs on nine hits and walked three in 5 1/3 innings versus the Chicago White Sox at home.

This will be the first start of the season for Lee against Texas, a team that he has a 3-1 record against in his career, despite carrying a lofty 5.64 ERA over those appearances.

As for the Rangers, they are going with Jamey Wright, who currently stands five strikeouts shy of 800 for his career. Wright, who has almost as many walks over the years with 741, is 0-1 all-time versus Cleveland and is a less- than-spectacular 30 games under .500 (70-100) for his career.

The 12-year veteran last took the hill on Monday when he went seven innings against Oakland on the road, holding the host team scoreless while surrendering a mere four hits and three walks in a 4-1 victory.

Young, who leads the Rangers with 112 hits and is second with 54 RBI, should be back in the lineup for tonight's meeting. The team could certainly use his leadership considering they are hitting a collective .255 with just two home runs over the last seven games.

As for the Indians, now just a game behind the Tigers in the division, Ryan Garko has been a huge spark for the squad of late with three home runs, eight RBI and eight runs scored in the last seven outings. Not to be overlooked is Hafner who has two long balls and seven knocked in during that stretch as well.

The Indians have won six in a row against the Rangers, including wins in all four meetings so far this year.
