Brantley finished with three hits and leads the AL with a .320 batting average. The rally came off the Texas bullpen after Glenn Otto threw five scoreless innings with seven strikeouts in his big league debut for the Rangers. Andy Ibanez homered for Texas in his seventh consecutive game with multiple hits.
