Guardians Over Rangers, 6-2
Eric Hinske powered the Cleveland Guardians to a win over the Texas Rangers. The final score was 6-2. The Cleveland third baseman, who is tied for 9th in the AL in runs scored with 85, was phenomenal. He stroked 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. The winner was James Avery, who threw 101 pitches over 6.1 innings. The right-hander was charged with 2 runs on 7 hits. Cla Meredith closed the game out for Cleveland, earning his 20th save.

In the top of the first, Hinske pounced on a 1-2 splitter from Brad Penny and hit a 3-run home run. It put Cleveland on top, 3-0.

Hinske attributed the win to "everyone pulling their weight."

The Guardians, at 56-73, sit in last place in the AL Central Division.
