The Cubs' starter gave up three runs in 8 1/3 innings.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;"><span>Nelson Cruz</span> and <span>Vladimir Guerrero</span> each had two hits, including a homer, for the Rangers, who had won five in a row. Darren O'Day (1-2) got the loss.</p>

After an intentional walk to Castro, <span>Derrek Lee</span> plated Fukudome with a groundout at second base.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;"><span>Marlon Byrd</span> walked to again fill the bases, but Nippert struck out <span>Aramis Ramirez</span> to end the inning.</p>

Kinsler then singled to right to bring him in.</p>

Two batters later, Soriano hit a changeup that Rangers starter <span>Derek Holland</span> left up in the zone for a home run to left.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">In the bottom half, consecutive singles by Guerrero, <span>Josh Hamilton</span> and Cruz got Texas within 2-1.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">The Cubs got their first win over the Rangers since 2007, the last time before this season that the teams met.
