Phelps Socks 2 Home Runs in 14-6 Texas Win
A 4-RBI performance from Mike Phelps, who finished 5th in the AL in extra base hits with 81 in 2037, helped the Texas Rangers beat the Tampa Bay Rays, 14-6. Texas reliever Giustiniano DiGrande was the winner. His record is now 1-1. Arturo Castaneda took the loss. The loss drops Tampa Bay to 8-16.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Kris Smith came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Tampa Bay pitcher Arturo Castaneda, he hit a first pitch fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Texas on top, 7-6.

Phelps told the Texas Gazette: "I was born for the big stage."
