Rangers closer to AL West after testy 5-4 win over Angels (Yahoo Sports)

Rookie Nomar Mazara hit his 20th homer in another testy game with multiple ejections and the Texas Rangers moved closer to their second consecutive AL West title by beating the Los Angeles Angels 5-4 on Tuesday night. Texas (90-62) cut its magic number to two to clinch the seventh division title in franchise history. Mazara hit a 438-foot drive off rookie right-hander Daniel Wright (0-4) just beyond the Rangers bullpen in right-center, a two-run shot in the fourth that put them up 4-3.
