The Texas Rangers bounced back from a crushing Game 1
defeat to beat the New York Yankees 7-2 in Game 2 on Saturday. The
Rangers' bullpen, after looking like they didn't even belong in the
playoffs in Game 1, rebounded nicely to hold the Yankees scoreless
over the last 3 1/3 innings; starter Colby Lewis got the win. The
victory was the first-ever post-season win at home for the Rangers,
and ended a streak of 10 consecutive post-season losses to the
Yankees. Texas will have their ace Cliff Lee on the mound for Game
3, and the Yankees will send Andy Petitte, MLB's winningest
post-season pitcher in history. The game will be played in New York
Monday night at 8:07 PM ET.
