Rangers Win, 5-1, Extend Hot Streak
Texas Rangers starter Barry Hightower was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Detroit Tigers, 5-1. Hightower got the win, improving to 12-3. He allowed 8 hits and walked 1 over 8 innings. Hightower allowed 1 run. The Rangers, now 62-35, have won 8 in a row.

Texas used the bat of Ken Griffey Jr to capture the win. The center fielder jacked a grand slam home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Rangers ahead, 5-1. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a dandy.

"I like our vibe," said Hightower. "It's a winning vibe."
