Rangers sweep Marlins

GAME 1 - Marlins Ballpark
Harrison vs Johnson
Rangers 8, Marlins 0


Texas broke a 3-3 tie with 5 huge runs in the top of the 9th to make this one look like a blowout.  Texas had to overcome a 1st inning injury to Josh Hamilton who twisted his ankle while legging out a single in the first.

GAME 2 - Ballpark in Arlington
Nolasco vs Darvish
Rangers 12, Marlins 4


Texas broke open a close game with 4 runs in both the 6th and the 7th innings.  Josh Hamilton returned to action and went 2-4 with 3 RBI and 2 runs scored.  Adrian Beltre was 3 for 4 with 3 RBI's.  Hamilton hit a 3 run blast in the 7th to make the game a blow out.  Yu Darvish went 7 and gave up just 3 (2 earned).  Marlin starter Ricky Nolasco (5.1 IP / 7 ER) got shellacked.
