Rangers Drop Ambassadors, 8-5
Hank Blalock was instrumental in his team's 8-5 triumph over the Pittsburgh Ambassadors. The third baseman went 2 for 4 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Texas Rangers. Texas, now 13-7, has played well in the early going.

In the bottom of the 11th, Frank Fernandez had a chance to deal the knockout blow. And he did, punching a 3-run home run to left off Pittsburgh pitcher Octavio Dotel.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Fernandez said after the game.
