Game One - TEX 5, KC 1
Texas scorches Jeremy Guthrie (0-2) for 10 hits and three runs in 6.1 innings, while the Rangers' Colby Lewis (1-0) pitches seven strong with only one run allowed. Josh Hamilton hits his fourth homer and Michael Young goes four-for-five with two doubles in the easy win.
Game Two - KC 7, TEX 6 (10 innings)
 |
| Danny Duffy |
A wild one in Kansas City. Texas knocks around Royals starter Yordano Ventura, scoring six runs and hitting five doubles in the first three innings. But two runners are gunned down at the plate, a fact that would haunt the Rangers later. KC responded with five runs in the fourth to knock out Derek Holland, who gave up five straight singles and a walk before departing.
It stayed that way until the bottom of the 10th, when Texas reliever Arthur Rhodes loaded the bases with one out. Alex Gordon's sac fly wins it for KC. Greg Holland (1-0) gets the win in relief.
Game Three - KC 5, TEX 1
The Royals exact revenge for Game One, winning by the same score as the Rangers did in that game. The game is a tight one through six, with KC leading 1-0 and Danny Duffy (1-1) and Matt Harrison (0-1) pitching great games. But then Harrison faltered in the seventh, the big blow coming on a Lorenzo Cain double off the left field wall that plated two. Cain went four-for-four with three doubles to lead the onslaught.
