Rangers Tack 8-1 Loss on Cleveland
Texas Rangers starter Bert Inks was in the groove. He led his team to a win over the Cleveland Lake Monsters, 8-1. Inks went 5 innings to notch the win. He scattered 2 hits, walked 2, and struck out 3. His record improves to 1-0. The win gives Texas a record of 1-1.

The Rangers got an important contribution from third baseman Hank Blalock, who in the top of the fourth hit a curveball into right for a 2-run home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Rangers ahead, 3-1.

"Baseball is about momentum," said Blalock, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."
