Rangers, Joe Nathan get a generous assist in a 5-4 win over the Rays.

Nathan gets a called 3rd strike to end the game, and record his 300th save, although home plate ump Marty Foster later admitted it was a mistake. Nathan had allowed 2 hits and a run, before striking out Ben Zobrist to end the threat.

Texas had built a 5-1 lead after a pair of solo HRs by A.J. Pierzynski and Mitch Moreland to break a 1-1 tie in the 4th. Alexi Ogando checks Tampa Bay on 3 hits and 1 run over 5 1/3 innings.
