--3B Michael Young, RF Nelson Cruz and 1B Chris Davis all homered for the Rangers on Tuesday. The club has homered in each of its first eight games, breaking the team record of seven games set in 1992 and equaled in 1993. The Rangers are the only team to homer in all of its games this season. With 17 homers in eight games, the Rangers are on an unbelievable 344-home run pace.
--OF David Murphy is supposed to be the Rangers' regular left fielder, but Marlon Byrd has forced his way into a more prominent role. Murphy's struggle to start the season -- he's now 0-for-13 -- is not likely to help him expand his role. BY THE NUMBERS: 8 -- Consecutive losses for the Rangers in Detroit, dating to September 2007. The Rangers, who visit Detroit again in May, have been outscored 71-21 during the streak.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "The results will be judge and jury." -- LHP C.J. Wilson, who broke a couple of bats and had an error behind him, but was charged with six runs April 12, when asked if he thought he pitched well.
