Texas Rangers Schedule 2009 | May

Texas Rangers
The Rangers sit in first place thanks to their red hot offense and surprisingly above average pitching.  Ranger starters are going further into games allowing the bullpen to stay sharp.  Rookie pitcher Derek Holland has looked great coming out of the Texas Ranger bullpen, and he will get a few starts while (SP) Vicente Padilla is on the 15 day Disabled List. Short stop Elvis Andrus has played better than anyone could have hoped for. Josh Hamilton returned to the lineup and homered in his first game back; Hamilton has been sidelined with a rib injury for much of the start of the 2009 season.

AL West Standings as of 5/18/2009
1.) Texas Rangers
2.) LA Angels 3.0 games back
3.) Seattle Mariners 6.0 games back
4.) Oakland Athletics 8.0 games back
