Jose Vidro's single that skipped past Ben Broussard started the inning. Vidro was out stealing, but Ian Kinsler didn't hold on to the ball. When it kicked into the outfield, Vidro went to third. He scored on a 2-and-2 single by Kenji Johjima.

Rangers 5, Seattle 4

Quality (Fair): The Rangers got a quality start for the second straight night. Vicente Padilla followed Kevin Millwood by going six innings and allowing just a run.

Left-handed compliment (Fair): The Rangers' two-run rally in the eighth was keyed by left-handed hitters Josh Hamilton, Hank Blalock and David Murphy against lefty Eric O'Flaherty.

Illnesses (Foul): Michael Young had the flu Tuesday, but seems to have started the season with a case of Error-itis. He's made two key errors in two games.
