Colby Lewis went on the mound looking to get the Rangers to a win in the first game of the two game double header. Looking statistic wise, it was a weird day for Colby Lewis. He set two career high highlights set in this game. Looking at the positive side, Lewis had 12 strikeouts in the game. The negative to this start though was him giving up 5 home runs, which set a career high for his career as well. The game actually started with Lewis giving up three straight home runs to the first three batters of the Orioles hitting the deep ball. Those batters were Ryan Flaherty, J.J. Hardy, and Nick Markakis. The Rangers had a three run rally in the 9th inning thanks to David Murphy's pinch hitting 3 run home run to get them within one run from tying the game. The game ended though with Kinsler grounding out to 3rd base, and Andrus striking out looking. Game two of this double header will show Tommy Hunter on the mound against his former team. The Rangers will send out Derrek Holland to start for them. I hope that the Rangers will get to Hunter early, and we will see the bats fly in this second game.
