Rangers' slumbering bats come alive in 11-1 victory over Cardinals
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Marcus Semien hit a two-run homer and matched his career high with four hits, Jack Leiter pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings for the first time in 15 major league starts and the Texas Rangers routed the St. Louis Cardinals 11-1 on Friday night. Leiter (4-2) allowed three singles and matched a career high with six strikeouts, throwing a career-high 96 pitches. Semien drove in three runs. He was 10 for 70 in his previous 21 games. Sam Haggerty tied his career best with three hits and had three RBIs, Josh Jung also had three hits and three RBIs, and Wyatt Langford hit a two-run home run. Haggerty scored the first of his three runs on a first-inning single by Josh Jung that ended a team-wide 0-for-30 drought. The Rangers (28-30) went into play last in the AL in batting average and runs. They were held to three runs in their previous three games, shut out Wednesday and hitless after Josh Smith's leadoff single in the first inning. Caleb Boushley pitched the final three innings for first career save. The Rangers prevented the Cardinals (32-25) from going nine games over .500 for the first time this season. They had 15 hits, three shy of their season high. Lars Nootbaar doubled home Victor Scott II with the Cardinals' run in the eighth inning. Matthew Liberatore (3-4) allowed five runs in the first two innings, one unearned. Haggerty's two-run triple in the second inning sliced into the right-field corner off a 3-2 pitch. Texas' pitching isn't a problem. Its 2.81 rotation ERA leads the majors. Cardinals RHP Sonny Gray (5-1, 4.06 ERA) was set to start Saturday against LHP Patrick Corbin (3-3, 3.75).

Rangers' offense reappears in 11-1 rout of Cardinals
May 31 - Marcus Semien went 4-for-4 with a two-run homer and three RBIs as the Texas Rangers broke out of their offensive funk with an 11-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday in Arlington, Texas. The Rangers' Josh Jung and Sam Haggerty each had three hits and three RBIs. Wyatt Langford added a two-run homer, and Kyle Higashioka (2-for-3), Haggerty and Semien scored three runs apiece. Jack Leiter (4-2) was the beneficiary of the outburst, throwing 5 2/3 scoreless innings while allowing three hits and two walks and striking out six. Caleb Boushley handled the final three innings, permitting one run. The 11-run outburst was the Rangers' largest since April 29 and more than Texas scored in the past four games combined. St. Louis starter Matthew Liberatore (3-4) gave up five runs, four earned, on seven hits over five innings. He walked one and struck out five in his worst outing since surrendering five runs in a loss in Pittsburgh on April 7. The Cardinals had won five of their previous six games, while the Rangers had lost eight of 10. Texas jumped on top in the first inning when Jung's two-out single drove in Haggerty, who opened the frame by reaching first on a throwing error by Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn. Texas then produced a four-run second. Haggerty tripled to the right field corner to send home Higashioka and Semien. Langford followed with a towering home run over the left field fence to stoke the lead to 5-0. The Rangers added to their lead in the sixth off St. Louis reliever Gordon Graceffo. Jake Burger singled, Higashioka walked and Semien singled home a run. One out later, Haggerty plated Higashioka with a base hit to make it 7-0. Langford then walked to load the bases, and Jung followed with a two-out, two-run single to left field to push across Semien and Haggerty and make it 9-0. Semien's two-run homer in the seventh expanded Texas' lead to 11-0. The Cardinals finally scored in the eighth when Lars Nootbaar's double plated Victor Scott II. The game was the opener of a three-game interleague series. --Field Level Media
