Tampa Bay Rays starter Cole Hamels was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Texas Rangers, 3-1. James Pazos recorded his 3rd save for Tampa Bay. Losses have been few and far between for the Rangers so far this season. Their record drops to 12-6.

The Rays got a big at-bat from center fielder A.J. Pollock. For the game, Pollock went 1 for 4 with a triple. In the bottom of the third, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring triple. His 1st triple of the season gave Tampa Bay a 1-0 lead.

"This level of focus will win us a lot of ballgames," Pollock said after the game.
