| | | Walkoff ‘Cruz Missile’ Powers Rangers To 7-5 Win | | 2008-03-12 02:52:56 | | In his 19 months and 12 days as a member of the Texas Rangers organization, enigmatic corner outfielder Nelson Cruz has belted three walkoff home runs.
The first of those three doses of late inning dramatics was delivered on March 31st, 2007, and singlehandedly propelled Texas to a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers during the [...] | | By: Baseball Time in Arlington | | |

| Texas Downs Kansas City In Walkoff Style, 8-7 | | 2008-03-03 01:09:10 | | Three Cactus League contests in five days between the Texas Rangers and their cross-complex rivals, the Kansas City Royals, have revealed a decidedly one-sided slant in favor of the Rangers.
In those three games, Texas has not only outscored Kansas City handily (29 runs to 15), but has also outclubbed their Surprise brethren, crushing five homers [...] | | By: Baseball Time in Arlington | | |
| | Angels Snap Rangers’ Winning Streak Via Walkoff | | 2007-09-01 09:01:41 | | And so ends the Rangers’ longest winning streak of the season.
How appropriate that it came to an end at the hands of the hated Angels.
Texas rallied against Anaheim closer Francisco Rodriguez in the top of the 9th inning, but the Rangers were unable to take the lead, and Howie Kendrick hit a walkoff RBI single [...] | | By: Baseball Time in Arlington | | |
| | Orioles Step Into “The Snake Pit;” Young Hits Walkoff For Texas | | 2007-07-07 09:40:09 | | Michael Young has done it again.
With one swing of the bat, Young laced a walkoff RBI single past Orioles third baseman Chris Gomez in the bottom of the 10th inning on Friday night, and the Texas Rangers defeated Baltimore 4-3.
It’s Young’s second walkoff single of the season, with the first capping the unforgettable “Cordero Meltdown” game on June 9th. The Rangers are now 4-2 in July, after losing Thursday night’s series finale with the Angels by a 5-2 margin. I’d rather not discuss that one.
Of course, the real story of the night was the suddenly unstoppable Kameron Loe, who threw six brilliant shutout innings and racked up his 5th consecutive quality start. “The Snake” surrendered five hits and three walks during his 103 pitch outing, striking out three. He’ll face either the Angels or Athletics on the road in his next start after the All-Star break.

Nelson Cruz couldn’t have picked a better time for his first home run of the year.
With one swing of the bat, the 26-year-old Cruz ended the Rangers’ 0-5 slide against the Angels this year, with a majestic opposite field blast on an 0-1 pitch from Scot Shields in the bottom of the 9th inning on Sunday afternoon. One of the biggest criticisms of Cruz this season has been that he can’t handle offspeed pitches - he certainly handled Shields’ 81 MPH pitch on the outer half of the plate.
Josh Lewin had been explaining moments before the “Cruz Missile” struck that Nelson’s mother and grandmother were in the stands, and how he wanted to please them on Mother’s Day. It may be one of the first times Lewin has ever had good timing in saying something. Cruz’s home run marked Texas’s first walkoff win since May 25th, 2006, when the recently retired Phil Nevin hit a walkoff home run to dead center field off closer Husto | | By: Baseball Time in Arlington | | |
