Rangers 5, Giants 0: Alexi Ogando combined with three relievers on a three-hit shutout as visiting Texas handed Tim Lincecum his fifth consecutive loss in the rubber game of their three-game interleague series.

Making his first start of the season, Ogando struck out two over three hitless innings before leaving with a strained right groin suffered while beating out a bunt for a single in the top of the fourth. Robbie Ross (6-0), who tossed four scoreless frames, kept San Francisco without a hit until Aubrey Huff doubled with one out in the sixth.

Mike Adams yielded two hits in the eighth before Joe Nathan worked a perfect ninth as Texas posted its second shutout in three games.

Ian Kinsler and Josh Hamilton drove in two runs apiece for the Rangers, who completed a 4-6 road trip.

Texas got on the board in the third when Elvis Andrus tripled and scored on Adrian Beltre's two-out double. Kinsler made it 3-0 in the fourth with a two-run double and Hamilton capped the scoring with one of his own two innings later.

Lincecum (2-7) surrendered five runs and nine hits over 5 2/3 innings. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner, who walked four and struck out five, fell to 0-5 over his last eight starts.

Angel Pagan and Nate Schierholtz had singles for the Giants, who lost for just the third time in 10 contests.

San Francisco has gone 22 home games without hitting a home run.
