Game 2 of 3: Rangers 5 vs. Twins 0 — FINAL Game Time: 2:07 —Attendance: 28, 624 PROPS TO: *Kenny Rogers - After pitching a complete game shut out he has now pitched 30 innings without giving up a run, very impressive. He only struck out two but had his A game, never giving the Twins a chance. *Carlos Silva - Was out pitched at on the 4 runs he gave up they were all singles, and ground balls, and he was ahead of batters. He could have given up 1 run and not won the game. * Rangers offense in the 5th - Base hits got it done, 4 runs in the 5th. *Rangers defense - turned four double plays and killed any potential rally there might have been including a great catch by Mench to end the game. *Mathew LeCroy - Singled twice, both times leading off the inning, but no one could get him over. *Juan Castro - Singled and doubled, getting the Twins only extra base hit. *Baltimore Orioles - Put and end to the White Sox winning streak and kept the Twins from going 7 games down and doesn't make the series loss seem so bad. FLOPS TO:*Jacque Jones - Grounded into two double plays, after last nights should be error he didn't make up for it tonight. *Louis Rivas - 0-3 on the night and shows no spark on defense, great example of why he isn’t starting at second. *Twins offense - Showed no life.
* Twins offense after 4th inning - Bats went silent, not doing much to keep getting runs, even with a 4-run lead. Can’t be doing stuff like that, especially against a dangerous offense like Texas.
