Rangers Bang Out 6-2 Win Versus Pittsburgh
Texas rode a fine outing from starter David Wells to victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates at Three Rivers Stadium. The final score was 6-2. Wells got the win, improving to 1-0. He allowed 5 hits and walked 1 over 7 innings. Wells allowed 2 earned runs. Texas, now 3-5, is off to a slow start.

Chris Gwynn had a clutch at-bat with one out in the top of the seventh for the Rangers. Coming up with runners on 2nd and 3rd and Texas trailing 2-1, he hit a 2-run single.

"I thought we played a nice game," Gwynn told the Texas Observer. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there."
