May 5, 2009 (Fort Worth Star-Telegram delivered by Newstex ) --
The Rangers scored six times with two outs in the 10th, four on Jarrod Saltalamacchia's second career grand slam, en route to a 7-2 victory over the first-place Seattle Mariners. The Rangers now trail Seattle by only a half-game in the American League West. Vicente Padilla was outstanding, allowing an unearned run and one hit in eight innings. Darren O'Day pitched 1 1/3 innings for his first career victory, and Frank Francisco pitched in a non-save situation to close out the game.
The Rangers are 14-12 and riding a season-best four-game winning streak as they head to Oakland for a two-game series that begins Wednesday night.
