06/05/2008 - Arlington, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Milton Bradley finished 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI, as the Texas Rangers downed the Cleveland Indians, 9-4, in the finale of a four-game series.
Kevin Millwood (4-3) gave up four runs on nine hits in six-plus innings of work for Texas, which had lost three of four entering play. Four pitchers combined to toss three scoreless innings of relief.
Michael Young homered, doubled and knocked in two runs for the Rangers, extending his hitting streak to 21 games, the longest in the majors this season. Ramon Vazquez knocked in three runs.
C.C. Sabathia (3-8) allowed five runs -- four earned -- on nine hits to absorb the loss. The lefty also struck out eight and walked three. Rafael Betancourt was roughed up for three runs in two-thirds of an inning.
David Dellucci was 2-for-4 and drove in two runs for the Indians, who have dropped four of their last six outings. Ryan Garko had two hits and scored a run. Victor Martinez and Jhonny Peralta both knocked in a run.
The Rangers broke a 4-4 tie in the home sixth. Gerald Laird stroked a leadoff double and Chris Shelton bunted him to third. Vazquez struck out and Ian Kinsler worked a walk. Laird then scored the go-ahead when Young beat out a slow roller to short.
Betancourt started the seventh for the Indians and Bradley greeted him with a rocket down the right field line. Betancourt issued a one-out walk to Marlon Byrd before Shelton drew a free pass with two outs. Vazquez then smashed a two-run triple to right-center field.
Young's solo shot in the eighth gave the Rangers a 9-4 lead.
The Tribe built a 4-0 lead in the first inning. Grady Sizemore doubled to begin the contest and came around to score on Martinez's one-out single. Another base hit by Garko put runners on first and second for Peralta, who hooked an RBI double into the left field corner. Dellucci then smoked a two- run double off the wall in left.
Texas answered with three runs in the second. With runners on the corners and two away, Shelton beat out a chopper for an infield single, scoring Bradley, who was hit by a pitch to leadoff the inning. Vazquez then stroked an RBI single through the hole on the right side. Right-fielder Shin-Soo Choo overran the ball, allowing another runner to score and Vazquez to advance to third. Kinsler grounded out to second to end the frame.
The Rangers tied the game in the third, as Young led off with a double, took third on a wild pitch and, after Josh Hamilton struck out swinging, trotted home on Bradley's RBI single.
In the bottom of the fifth, Texas had runners on second and third with one out, but couldn't convert.
Meanwhile, Millwood settled down on the mound and retired 15 in a row after Dellucci's double, but found himself in hot water in the top of the sixth. Garko's one-out single had snapped the string. After Peralta went down on strikes, Millwood gave up consecutive singles to Dellucci and Casey Blake, loading the bases for Choo, who struck out to thwart the rally.
Game Notes
Kinsler's career-high 19-game hitting streak came to an end after an 0-for-4 performance. Young and Kinsler were looking to become the first teammates to have hit streaks of 20 games or more at the same time since 1980...Millwood had six strikeouts...The Rangers left eight men on base, while Cleveland stranded five...Before the game, Cleveland signed pitcher John Halama to a minor league contract. He will report to Buffalo of the International League. Halama last appeared in the majors in 2006 with Baltimore.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
