The Texas Rangers held strong in game 2 with a score of 7-2. Once again on Saturday, the Rangers pounced early on the Yankees pitching. Yankees starter Phil Hughes was touched up for 5 by the 3rd inning. Including a double steal of home, and a towering solo home run to right field by David Murphy. Hughes ended up surrendering 7 earned runs. For the Rangers, Colby Lewis pitched very well. He only allowed 2 earned runs through 5 and 2/3 innings. Yankees did not show many signs of life on offense. Robinson Cano kept his hot hitting up by hitting one of the longest home runs in the Ranger’s ball park to right field. But the Yankees couldn’t add anything more than that. It got a little tense when the Ranger’s closer Neftali Feliz walked two batters in the ninth, but he quickly got the third out to end the game, and send the series back to New York 1-1. Game three is on Monday as Andy Pettitte takes on Cliff Lee in a big lefty showdown.
