Alexi Ogando is now 7-0, the only 7-0 pitcher in baseball. He got off to a slow start giving up a homerun to Tiger 3B Don Kelly in the first and had trouble locating his pitches early on, but he finished with another great game giving up just the 1 run on 6 hits and striking out 7 in 7 2/3 innings. The Ranger bats came alive to back him up putting 7 runs on the board. Josh Hamilton drove in 2 and Adrian Beltre hit his 12th homerun of the year in support of Ogando.
Alexi has now gone at least 6 innings in all 12 of his career starts. How lowered his ERA to 2.10, good for 2nd in the AL, and an AL leading 0.90 WHIP.
