Rangers offense gave him plenty as support, as Texas defeated the Kansas City Royals 8-2. The Rangers started off the second with three consecutive walks from Robinson Chirinos, Leonys Martin and Thomas Field to load the bases with no outs. A double from Delino DeShields scored Chirinos and Martin, while Field scored on a wild pitch from Danny Duffy. A single from Shin-Soo Choo extended his hitting streak to 11 games, while scoring DeShields. For the rookie DeShields, it was only his second career start in left field, and taking opportunity of the playing time and scoring runs was key.

In a few hours every week, they have transformed the lawn into a lush green, accented by red and yellow tulips in the flower beds. The Smithville Chamber of Commerce honored the Farbs’ efforts Thursday night with the Chamber’s Citizens of the Year award.
