Rangers Prevail, 6-4, Over Atlanta
The Texas Rangers picked up a win at Arlington Stadium, knocking off the Atlanta Braves, 6-4. Starting pitcher Zane Smith played a key role in the triumph. Smith went 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 10 hits, walked 2, and struck out 4. His record improves to 1-6. Jeff Calhoun notched his 8th save in 13 chances.

Brian McRae contributed to the Texas win. The 24-year old left fielder stroked a 2-run double in the bottom of the third. For the game, McRae was 1 for 3 with a double and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

McRae said his wife shared good advice with him before the game. "She said, 'Don't allow this game to make you mad.' When I thought about it, I realized this is just a game. I was able to relax at the plate."

Even with the win, the Rangers have a dismal 32-90 record.
