Kansas City Decked by Trahan, Rangers
Getting offensive support from Shane Trahan, the Texas Rangers topped the Kansas City Royals, 9-3. Trahan went 3 for 5 with 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4 for the Rangers. Mike Poole earned the save for Texas, his 1st of the year. The 4th-place Rangers hiked their record to 19-20.

Billy Thompson had a big 3-run home run for the Rangers in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Texas trailing 3-2 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a changeup from Bill Fike, who is a two-time All-Star, and punished it. The result was his 6th home run of the season, which put the Rangers on top, 5-3.

"I think it speaks for itself, I think we came out and we played our kind of baseball," said Trahan.
