News
Brandon Boggs, playing only his 11th major league game, recovered from an early hard crash into a wall to go 3-for-4 with a homer, a double and three RBI as Texas ended the A's four-game winning streak. Boggs was lunging for a foul ball near the left-field corner in the first inning when he stumbled and slid on the ground. His right knee slammed into an unpadded part of the concrete side wall and a small pipe running along it. He remained down for several minutes before finally getting up, wiping off his torn pants after what he later described as "probably one of the hardest crashes I've had."

News
Rangers 2B Ian Kinsler continued his impressive run with a 3-for-5 day at the plate Sunday against the Athletics, including a double. He also scored two runs, drove in one and stole a base -- his ninth.

Doug Mathis (1-0), the sixth Rangers pitcher, threw a perfect 10th in his major league debut. "It's the coolest thing I've ever been a part of," said the 24-year-old Mathis, who was called up Sunday after the Rangers put starter Kevin Millwood on the disabled list.

Groin - 15-day DL. Out until at least early June (Updated - 5/11/08)
News
The Rangers placed right-handed pitcher Kevin Millwood on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right groin on Sunday before Texas' game against the Oakland Athletics. The Rangers called up right-hander Doug Mathis from Triple-A Oklahoma to take Millwood's roster spot. Mathis is 5-0 with a 3.55 ERA in seven starts for Oklahoma, but will pitch in relief for Texas. The Rangers won't need another fifth starter until May 20 at Minnesota. A.J. Murray and Luis Mendoza are the likely candidates to join the rotation.

News
Rangers SP Vicente Padilla pitched into the sixth inning Monday against the Mariners, but a no-decision kept him from his sixth victory, which would have matched the American League lead and equaled his total for all of last season. After allowing one earned run in his previous three starts, including Wednesday when he limited Seattle to two singles over seven scoreless innings, Padilla gave up four hits and five runs -- only two of them earned after two Texas errors -- in the first inning Monday. He left after allowing six runs -- three earned -- on seven hits and one walk in five innings, striking out two.

Josh Hamilton and Milton Bradley hit back-to-back towering homers to start the third inning against Seattle's Erik Bedard Monday.

Bradley left with a sore right shoulder, lifted in the seventh for pinch-hitter Frank Catalanotto, whose RBI single made it 10-6.
