Rangers 4, White Sox 0
ARLINGTON, Texas — Josh Hamilton and Nelson Cruz homered in their return to the Rangers lineup and Alexi Ogando pitched a five-hitter for his first career shutout. The sluggers were back in the Texas lineup together for the first time in almost six weeks. Hamilton, the reigning AL MVP, got his first homer of the season when he pulled a liner over the rightfield wall in the first off John Danks. Hamilton added a double in the eighth and finished 2-for-4. Cruz grounded out and struck out before his two-run blast to left in the sixth, which snapped his 0-for-16 slide.
