Texas Heads North, Starts Road Trip With A Win

Making their only trip across the Canadian border this season, Texas hit Toronto riding relatively high after the Mike Young walk-off homerun victory against Kansas City a few days ago and for their trouble, ran into buzzsaw ace Roy Halladay.

Brandon McCarthy went six innings, allowing only three runs before giving way to Eddie Guardado and Jason Jennings, both of whom held the lead for Texas. C.J. Wilson again didn't manage to do his job, allowing an rbi single by Jose Batista. This is becoming habit for C.J. and has got to be a serious concern for Texas.

Luckily, Halladay wasn't his normal self and, despite striking out nine and going eight innings the Rangers managed 2-run homers by Nelson Cruz and Ian Kinsler, and added an rbi single by Chris Davis, giving them just enough for the 5-4 victory.

In a scary moment, home plate umpire Kerwin Danley was hit by a broken bat after a swing by Hank Blalock, knocking him to the ground, sending trainers from both teams
to his aid.



Danley remained conscious but motionless and was eventually carted off the field by paramedics. He was then taken to the hospital for further examination.
