Rays Vs. Rangers, ALDS Game 2: Ian Kinsler’s Solo Blast Doubles Ranger Lead

And now James Shields' home run problems have reared their ugly head. C.J. Wilson came through with a shutdown bottom of the third, and while Shields retired the first two Rangers he faced in the fourth, he fell behind Ian Kinsler 2-0 and left a fastball over the inner half of the plate. Kinsler turned on it and yanked it into the left field seats for a solo home run, and the Rangers have therefore been able to extend their lead.

This isn't the same game as Wednesday's series opener, but it could get there if the Rays don't make a statement soon.
