Rangers' pitchers key to winning streak

 

Published 5/11/2008 by T.R. Sullivan at Major League Baseball News

Apparently the Rangers took that advice to heart because after going 0-7 with a 10.17 in Detroit and Boston, they have won 10 of 14 with a 3.24 ERA going into Saturday's game with the Athletics.
