Carried by their starting pitching, the Rangers have won four of their last five and 12 of their last 17 ball games. Building upon the quality start from Ariel Jurado yesterday, Lynn delivered his fifth consecutive quality start (at least six innings pitched and three runs or fewer) as Texas took its second consecutive game from Kansas City.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;\">&#8220;Pretty much what we&#8217;ve seen from Lance all year,&#8221; said Rangers manager Chris Woodward. &#8220;He competed his tail off and was getting weak contact early. Struck out the side in the second inning. After that, he said, &#8216;I don&#8217;t want to throw too many more pitches.&#8217; So he tried to get early outs. He did a good job getting weak contact.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;\">*Editor&#8217;s note: Above the byline is the photo gallery from Saturday&#8217;s game, with all photos taken by Dallas-area photographer Ross James.
