    The Texas Rangers realize they'll have to be resourceful on offense to make the postseason without suspended slugger Nelson Cruz.

    When they scored eight runs without an extra-base hit Tuesday night, manager Ron Washington was thrilled -- but not at all surprised.

    "What's the difference between small ball and winning baseball?" he asked. "Aggression is always going to be our game."

    Adrian Beltre drove in the tiebreaking run in the eighth, Yu Darvish pitched seven solid innings, and the Rangers beat the Los Angeles Angels 8-3 for their eighth win in nine games.
