Rangers Get Road Win, 5-1
Matt Shoemaker never let the Royals get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his fastball, to pitch the Rangers to a 5-1 win. Anthony Swarzak notched his 15th save in 17 chances. The Rangers have an impressive 47-27 record.

The Rangers got a big at-bat from second baseman Cesar Hernandez. For the game, Hernandez went 1 for 1 with a triple. In the top of the first, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring triple. His 5th triple of the season gave Texas a 1-0 lead.

"Enjoyed this one," Shoemaker told the Texas Today. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
