Games Notes

Rangers take the opener 5-1 behind Cliff Lee.

Lee scatters 7 hits and 1 run by the A's over 8 innings to outduel Dallas Braden. Lee gets support from a likely source, Josh Hamilton, and an unlikely one, light-hitting Taylor Teagarden.

Elvis Andrus doubles home Teagarden for a 1-1 tie in the 3rd. Hamilton's solo HR in the 4th gives Texas the lead and Teagarden's 2-run HR in the 5th pads the lead.
