Sosa celebrates being relevant again
ARLINGTON — The Texas Rangers won their second straight 5-3 decision over Seattle Sunday night, although the game was not nearly as close as the final score attests. Led by a terrific game by starter Vicent Padilla, who gave up just one run and five hits over six innings, the Rangers got out to a 5-1 lead before giving up two garbage runs in the top of the ninth.
Early-season savant Ian Kinsler went 3-for-4 with three runs in the leadoff spot, while more offense was provided by Brad "Whiff" Wilkerson's eighth-inning RBI triple, and Sammy "The Bull" Sosa's first-inning home run.
