  • Rangers Clinch Playoff Spot

    Rangers earn split with Angels to get playoff spot - Yahoo! Sports

    It had to be against the Angels.

    ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Closer Joe Nathan got the quick redemption he hoped for, and the two-time defending AL champion Texas Rangers are back in the playoffs.

    They're still trying to win another division title.

    Nathan ended a long day with his 37th save, after blowing a chance in the opener, and Mike Napoli homered twice while driving in six runs as the Rangers won 8-7 Sunday night for a doubleheader split against the Los Angeles Angels.

    ''Any reliever would ask to get out there and try and put this afternoon's game behind them,'' Nathan said. ''The team over there is playing great, pushed us right the limit again. We've still got some work to do.''

    While overcoming an quick 4-0 deficit in the nightcap to assure themselves a playoff spot - and postseason berths for Baltimore and New York Yankees, as well - the Rangers (93-66) have to win at least once during their season-ending, three-game series at second-place Oakland for the AL West title.

        Should be a great series between the A's/Rangers to finish the series. As a Baseball fan, I hope the A's win the first 2 games so the last game of the regular season is for the division title, but I hope Texas wins, there is unfinished business.
