Rangers Stay Hot With 8-5 Win
The Texas Rangers overcame a good performance by California designated hitter Willie Villar to knock off California, 8-5, at Anaheim Stadium. Villar went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The Rangers move to 50-34 with the win, while the Angels drop to 31-53.

Texas got the win thanks to a clutch hit from Jeff Frye. The second baseman stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Rangers ahead, 7-3. Though it was his only hit in 2 at-bats, it had a major impact on the outcome.

"We're playing like gangbusters right now," said Frye.
