Rangers 7, Tigers 3
ARLINGTON, Texas — Alexi Ogando pitched 72/3 strong innings to improve to 7-0, Adrian Beltre homered and the Rangers avoided a three-game sweep. The Tigers had 21 runs and 38 hits while winning the first two games of the series. Ogando, who struck out seven to match a career high, became the first major-league pitcher to win his first seven decisions as a starter since Jered Weaver went 9-0 for the 2006 Angels.
