Bouncing back from a terrible month of July when he hit .177, OF Josh Hamilton drives in 4 runs as the Rangers defeat the Angels, 15 – 9. Following a rough first start by newly-acquired Ranger P Ryan Dempster, the two teams are tied at 8 after 6 innings, but Texas scores 4 in the 7th and 3 in the 8th to secure the win. Roy Oswalt, who gave up his spot in the starting rotation to make room for Dempster, is the winner in relief.

The Rangers rally from 6 runs down to win at home after losing the first two games of their series with the Angels, who are breathing down their necks in the AL West. Trailing 7 – 1 in the 5th, the Rangers manage to force extra innings thanks to Ian Kinsler’s home run in the bottom of the 9th, only to see the Halos score 3 more in the top of the 10th, as a two-run homer by Albert Pujols, who has back-to-back two-homer games, and a solo shot by Chris Iannetta apparently put the game away. But Texas is not dead: Nelson Cruz leads off the bottom of the 10th with a homer off Ernesto Frieri, then Michael Young reaches on Andrew Romine’s error and David Murphy draws a walk. Jason Isringhausen comes in to pitch, but allows a single to Mike Napoli that loads the bases with none out; Mitch Moreland singles in a second run, and after one out, Elvis Andrus ends the game with a two-run single. The win extends the Rangers’ lead over Los Angeles to 4 games, with Oakland another half game behind.
