Yankees Vs. Rangers, ALCS Game 2: David Murphy Solo Home Run Doubles Ranger Lead

Another day, another promising start for Texas. Though everyone will keep thinking about how Friday wound up, the best possible thing for the Rangers to do is establish a good early lead in Game 2, and they're on their way.

With one out and none on, David Murphy faced Phil Hughes, got ahead 2-0, and killed an inside fastball deep to right. This wasn't a line drive - this was a towering fly ball with more than enough distance, and the solo blast pushed the Rangers' lead to two.
