Pimbly Nimblebottom, the winner, goes to 1-0. He allowed 1 run on 6 hits, with no walks and 5 strikeouts over 7 innings. The win gives Texas a record of 3-0.

With Texas leading 1-0 in the bottom of the third, Giesbrecht hit a fastball from Brett Grijalva for a 3-run home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Rangers ahead, 4-0.

"We maximized our offense today," said Texas skipper Juan Smith. "That makes everyone's life easier."
