Adam Lind Has Big Night For Toronto, Takes Game One From Rangers

Starter Scott Feldman wasn't very sharp last night, pitching up in the zone for most of the game. Regardless, Feldman battled for six innings, allowing four earned runs, all of which were scored off the bat of Blue Jays left fielder Adam Lind, who went 2-for-4 with two homeruns and four RBI, pacing Toronto to the 6-3 victory.

"When he(Lind) is locked in, he's as good as anyone I've ever seen," Toronto center fielder Vernon Wells said.

Catcher Rod Batajas added: "He goes up there and he's successful without even trying."



Texas' offense never did get the big hit they needed, stranding 17 runners on base. They managed just three runs, all of them coming in the bottom of the 6th.

"It was tough," third baseman Michael Young said. "I thought we came out flat and didn't take advantage of the opportunities we had tonight. We're back from the road trip, today and tonight we got situated, tomorrow we need to come back with a better effort."
