The Texas Rangers got a stellar performance from pitcher Alex Wood, who handcuffed the Toronto offense en route to a win, 4-2, at Globe Life Park in Arlington. Wood picked up the win for Texas, going 6 innings. He gave up 1 run on 3 hits. He now sports a record of 4-3. Jake Diekman closed it out for his 8th save.

The Rangers benefited from an error in the bottom of the seventh inning. Texas was leading 2-1 when Andrelton Simmons hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put Texas in front, 4-1.

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

With the win, Texas upped its record to 28-14.
