David Murphy swinging a Hot bat

The Rangers finished off a disappointing 4-5 home stand last night falling to the Astros, and now head west for some more interleague play with the Giants, D-backs, and Padres. Chris Davis and Michael Young hit HR's last night, David Murphy had a solid 2-3 outing, but overall the bats are still in hiding for this team. Don't look now the Angels are only a 1.5 back and getting healthier winning 7 of their last 10 including 6 in a row. The next 9 games are against the NL West and need to go 6-3 heading into the big series in Arlington with the Angels.



David Murphy continues to swing a hot bat, and staking his claim for a spot in the everyday line-up after Hamilton returns. Murphy who started the season 3 for 31 (.097 avg.) has since went 35 for 112 for a .313 avg. including a .340 avg. in the month of June.
