Baseball Betting Lines

07/22/2007 - Arlington, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Marlon Byrd matched his career high with five RBI as the Texas Rangers beat the Cleveland Indians, 8-5, in the third of a four-game set at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.

Byrd had a two-run double in the first and a three-run triple in the seventh for the Rangers, who snapped a three-game losing streak.

Rangers starter Jamey Wright went just 3 1/3 innings, allowing three runs -- one earned -- on one hit with six walks and one strikeout. Ron Mahay (2-0) got the win, allowing one run, two hits and striking out five in 2 2/3 innings of relief.

Grady Sizemore homered for the Indians, who had won three of four.

Cleveland starter Cliff Lee (5-7) went 6 2/3 frames, allowing seven runs on eight hits with one walk and five strikeouts.

Texas scored five times in the first. Mark Teixeira hit a double to score Ramon Vazquez and, after Sammy Sosa stuck out, Byrd doubled to score Michael Young and Teixeira. Brad Wilkerson followed with a single to plate Byrd and Gerald Laird then doubled to left-center to score Wilkerson.

Cleveland loaded the bases with one out in the fourth on a fielding error by third baseman Travis Metcalf, and two walks. Wright then walked Mike Rouse and hit Josh Barfield with a pitch to plate a second run.

Ron Mahay then entered the game for the Rangers and Sizemore drove in a run with a groundout to cut Cleveland's deficit to 5-3.

Sizemore led off the top of the seventh with his 17th homer of the year, a shot to right-center, pulling the Indians within one.

Texas, though, extended its lead in the bottom half thanks to Byrd's three-run triple to left-center.

Victor Martinez's ground out scored Josh Barfield in the ninth, capping the scoring.
