It isn't quite time to panic yet, but the Rangers' 5-0 lead is no longer a 5-0 lead. Robinson Cano led off the fourth inning with a long double off Colby Lewis, and advanced to third on a wild pitch. Lewis then struck out both Nick Swisher and Jorge Posada to lessen the threat, but Lance Berkman ripped a two-out grounder off the glove of Mitch Moreland at first to drive Cano home and make this a 5-1 ballgame.

Berkman took a wide turn around first and wound up caught in a pickle, ending the frame and limiting the damage. So that makes things better for Texas. Still, runs and runs, and some more insurance in the bottom half wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.
Lewis has thrown 66 pitches through four. Phil Hughes, meanwhile, is returning to the mound.
