Rangers ride two big innings in wild victory over Tigers

<h3>TEXAS 9, DETROIT 6</h3>DETROIT (Ticker) -- The Texas Rangers are closing on theirfirst winning month of the season and are willing to go to greatlengths to secure it.

The Rangers rebounded from adversity twice and benefited fromsome shoddy defense to post a 9-6 victory over the DetroitTigers.

Texas, which is 13-10 in the month of June, has stepped up itsplay of late, winning its last three series and guaranteeing atleast a split in this series against the defending AmericanLeague champions.

With the score tied at 6-6 in the ninth, the Rangers ralliedagainst Tigers closer Todd Jones (1-4) after the veteranrighthander set down the first two hitters. Michael Young drewa walk and Sammy Sosa connected on his third hit of the contest,a single, to put runners at first and second.

Marlon Byrd followed the Rangers' cleanup hitter with a two-runtriple that skidded past right fielder Magglio Ordonez, stakingTexas to an 8-6 lead. Ramon Vazquez added an insurance run withan RBI single to right, making it 9-6.

Despite allowing three runs in the eighth - the first time hehad yielded a run in his last 10 games - Rangers relieverAkinori Otsuka (2-1) picked up the win before giving way tocloser Eric Gagne, who notched his eight save in as manychances.

Much like Jones before him, Gagne placed two runners on base buthe was able to close the deal, striking out Ordonez to end theTigers' threat.

The three-run ninth came two innings after the Rangers crossedthe plate five times in the seventh, coming back from a 3-1deficit to take a 6-3 lead. Brad Wilkerson hit a three-runblast and Texas scored two unearned runs on errors by thirdbaseman Brandon Inge and left fielder Craig Monroe.

Sean Casey had three hits for the Tigers, who have lostconsecutive games following a seven-game winning streak.
