Fair or foul

Nice recovery (fair): Brandon Boggs' right knee slammed into a part of the wall in foul territory in left that isn't padded. He stayed in the game and hit a homer the following inning.

Zeroes (fair): The Rangers haven't allowed a run in 31 innings, the second-longest streak in franchise history.

Double plays (fair): The Rangers lead the majors in double plays turned with 47. They got two Friday, both off the bat of Emil Brown (sixth and ninth innings).
