David Ortiz led off the big inning by driving the first pitch he saw from Rangers starter Tommy Hunter over the fence in left-center field. Adrian Beltre and J.D. Drew followed followed suit with back-to-back homers.

The Rangers stayed within striking distance, scoring two runs in the fourth and fifth. David Murphy had a two-run home run in the fourth, and Michael Young and Josh Hamilton had back-to-back shots in the fifth.

Drew added his second home run, a solo blast in the seventh.

The Rangers answered with two runs in the bottom half to pull within one. Murphy had a sacrifice fly and Bengie Molina came through with a run-scoring double.
