Detroit Tigers vs Texas Rangers

Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Arlington, Texas
Even without Josh Hamilton, the Texas Rangers are overpowering opponents and cruising to their first division title in 11 years.
The Rangers look to extend their winning streak to seven and complete a two-game sweep when they host the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night.
Texas (81-63) is expected to be without Hamilton, baseball's leader with a .361 average, for a 10th consecutive game due to recurring pain from bruised ribs. The left fielder had limited batting practice Tuesday for the first time since the end of August, but the session was stopped due to the injury.
The club didn't seem to miss him hours later, collecting 14 hits en route to its sixth straight win, 11-4 over Detroit (72-73) to open this two-game set. All nine starters got a hit and all but two scored runs for the Rangers, who were coming off a weekend sweep of the major league-best New York Yankees -- a potential playoff opponent.
"Our biggest goal is to get contributions up and down our lineup, be as versatile as we can and find ways to score runs in different ways," said third baseman Michael Young, who had three hits, three RBIs and three runs Tuesday. "If we do that, we should be in good shape."
