Braves Hammered by Ortega, Drop Game 4 to Rangers
Texas right fielder Danny Ortega was the difference-maker for the Rangers in what turned into a shootout with the Atlanta Braves. Ortega earned accolades after going 2-for-4 in the 8-5 Rangers win. With the victory, the Rangers moved into a 2-2 tie in the best-of-7 series.

A key moment came with one out in the bottom of the second. That's when Ortega hit a slider from Victor Rojas for a 3-run home run, putting Texas up, 7-1.

"I'm proud of the way we took care of business and got the 'W' today," Ortega told the Texas Gazette. "Whatever it takes."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Globe Life Field in Arlington.
