Rangers Edge Tampa Bay in Pitching Duel
Texas used a superb performance from starting pitcher Roberto Cancio to down the Tampa Bay Rays, 1-0. Texas reliever Jeremiah Wright picked up the win, upping his record to 3-0. Eric Cartwright absorbed the loss. Lou Green locked down his 28th save.

Had Ismael Lópes not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Lópes hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 1-0, in favor of the Rangers.

"Roberto made some big pitches when he needed to," said Rangers manager Eric Wedge.

Texas improves to 74-69 with the win. They lead their division by 3 games.
