Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Rangers
Petco Park was the site for American League action featuring the San Diego Padres and Texas Rangers.

The San Diego Padres got a sterling performance from pitcher Matt Wheeler, but the Texas Rangers still prevailed, 9-5. Wheeler threw 7.1 innings of 6-hit ball. Wayne Perry notched the win in relief. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 3 innings. His record now sits at 10-1.

Texas used the timely hitting of Tommy Luce to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Rangers on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We came in and got the job done. That's what it's all about in this business," said Luce.

The first-place Rangers, at 86-44, now lead their division by 5½ games.
