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.
