May blooms (fair): After an April deluge of losses, the Rangers are now 8-2 in the month.

Series business (fair): The win clinched the series for the Rangers. They've won five straight series for the first time since 2005.

Suzukis (on the line): Not the motor bike or the inexpensive car, but rather the opposing team's leadoff batter. The last name has been Suzuki – first name Kurt or Ichiro – for eight consecutive games.
