    After getting on base with a one-out single in the ninth inning, Texas' Elvis Andrus had permission to take chances.

    Andrus understood trying to take down Seattle ace Felix Hernandez required being aggressive just to get one run.

    "Especially when you face a guy like that, when he's on, it's going to be hard," Andrus said. "For whoever is hitting it's going to be hard to get good contact, a base hit."

    Locked in a scoreless tie, Andrus singled, stole two bases and scored on Adrian Beltre's infield grounder in the ninth as the Rangers did just enough against Hernandez for a 1-0 win over the Seattle Mariners on Friday night.
