Bullpen shines as Rangers stay hot (AP)

Texas Rangers Ian Kinsler(notes) kneels is safe at third base after hitting a two-run triple against Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Kuke French during the second inning in Arlington, Texas Tuesday, July 28, 2009.

The Texas Rangers got a tag-team effort from their bullpen. Doug Mathis came out of the bullpen to give Texas four innings in an emergency spot start, and four other relievers shut out Detroit on one hit the rest of the way as the Rangers beat the Tigers 7-3 on Tuesday night. Ex-Tiger Jason Grilli (1-1) pitched two perfect innings of relief with three strikeouts to pick up the decision.
