— The Texas Rangers righted their ship in a big way Tuesday night at Rangers Ballpark, belting five home runs en route to a 12-7 win over the Cleveland Indians. The Rangers are now 30-30 on the season.

Rangers emergency starter A.J. Murray lasted just over two innings before an apparent shoulder injury forced him to leave in the third inning. Five different Rangers relievers combined for the win, with Frank Francisco getting credit for the win.

Several of the Rangers' big bats had big days Tuesday. David Murphy went 4-for-4 with two RBI and three runs scored, missing the cycle by just a triple. Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia also had a good day, going 3-for-4 with two walks, two runs and two RBI.

Josh Hamilton continued his assault on the American League, slamming a two-run shot in the first to extend his lead in home runs and RBI. Milton Bradley followed that shot with one of his own --the second time this season he's hit back-to-back home runs with Hamilton-- and added his second home run of the day in the bottom of the eighth.

Michael Young went 1-for-5 to extend his hitting streak to 19 games, the longest in the American League this season, while Ian Kinsler went 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI, and extended his own hitting streak to 18 games.

The Trains at NorthPark Oh, no! Godzilla got into the Northpark train exhibit! But don't worry, the engineers will have it back up and running in time for your mall visit. And now, BEFORE the big holiday rush, is the best time to see them, before hundreds of drooling children take over the enclosure after Thanksgiving. More info
