Rangers ride Ogando to win over Angels

Ranger pitcher Alexi Ogando continues to show why manager Ron Washington moved him from the bullpen to the rotation.  Ogando moves to 4-0 on the season with a 4-1 win over the Angels.  The Angels remain a half-game ahead of the Rangers in the AL West.

Ogando pitched 6 1/3 innings, giving up just 1 run on 5 hits.  He struck out 5.  Neftali Feliz earned his 7th save of the season.

Elvis Andrus went 2 for 4 at the plate with 2 RBIs.  Andrus gave the Rangers the lead in the first inning with a solo home run to left field.  Ian Kinsler and Michael Young each went 2 for 4 as well.  Adrian Beltre added a solo home run in the 6th.

The Rangers and Angels play again this afternoon at the Ballpark in Arlington with the AL West lead on the line.
