08/11/2007 - Arlington, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Frank Catalanotto belted the go-ahead homer and had a career-high five RBI as the Texas Rangers beat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, 7-4, in the first of a three-game set.
Texas went ahead for good in the bottom of the fifth. Jarrod Saltalamacchia led off with a double to right and Ramon Vazquez followed with an infield bunt single to third before Catalanotto belted a homer to right, his eighth of the season for the Rangers, who have won two of three since a five-game losing streak.
"It's nice to come back and get a win," said Catalanotto. "We had a rough series with Oakland. It's nice to get the first win out of the way."
Catalanotto finished 3-for-4, Saltalamacchia went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and Michael Young drove in two runs in the win.
Texas starter Brandon McCarthy went 4 2/3 innings, allowing three runs -- none earned -- on six hits with three walks and three strikeouts.
"He was picking and choosing who he wanted to pitch to," said Texas manager Ron Washington. "They made him work. We had to shut them down and that's why we took him out."
Mike Wood (2-1) allowed one run on two hits in 2 1/3 innings, earning the decision. C.J. Wilson recorded the final four outs for his fourth save in five opportunities for Texas.
Dioner Navarro went 3-for-4 with a run scored and Carl Crawford and BJ Upton had two hits apiece and scored a run each for the Devil Rays, who have lost four of six.
Tampa Bay starter Andy Sonnanstine (1-8) was tagged for five runs on seven hits, while walking one and striking out three in 4 1/3 innings.
Tampa Bay got one run back in the top of the sixth when Navarro led off with a double to left-center, moved to third when Ben Zobrist flied out to center and scored on Akinori Iwamura's groundout to first.
Texas, though, responded with two runs in the bottom of the frame. With one out Gerald Laird reached first on Iwamura's fielding error and Saltalamacchia singled to left. Vazquez then walked before Catalanotto plated two runs with a single to left.
Texas got on board in the third. Vazquez walked with one out and Ian Kinsler singled to right with two outs before Young's double to right gave the Rangers an early 2-0 edge.
The Devil Rays went ahead in the top of the fifth. Zobrist led off reaching first on Saltalamacchia's fielding error and with one out, Crawford hit an infield single to short and Upton singled to left loading the bases for Carlos Pena. Pena walked forcing home a run and Delmon Young hit a sacrifice fly to right before Brendan Harris singled to right, giving Tampa Bay a 3-2 lead.
