Rangers Nip Royals, 3-2
|
Phil Hughes pitched well enough to win, but it was not to be. The Kansas City Royals, despite Hughes's fine outing, dropped a 3-2 decision to the Texas Rangers at Kauffman Stadium. Jake McGee earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.2 innings. His record is now 4-4. The triumph puts Texas at 98-38 for the season.
Texas used the timely hitting of Josh Hamilton to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Rangers on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.
"I just tried to make good contact," said Hamilton.
