Dallas: Rangers 15, Rays 3


Tonight's game contained one of the biggest offensive performances I've seen on my entire trip. The Rangers scored 11 runs in their half of the fifth inning including a grand slam by Marlon Byrd, which was his second of the evening. There were close plays at the plate on three plays in the inning and Matt Garza was rocked in his loss.

The ballpark is in a great location -- Six Flags and the new Cowboys stadium are all located in the same complex and they all share the same parking facilities. A great weekend would have been a trip to all three, but I will have to reserve that for a future date.

I really liked the architecture of the Rangers' stadium... it is one of the older newly remodeled stadiums and still lacks the great views from the promenades but the center field grassy area and grandstands added some great character to the ballpark. It's more than I had expected and would love to have been at this stadium for a playoff game.
