The Los Angeles Angels made the biggest splash of baseball’s winter meetings Thursday afternoon signing free-agent first baseman Albert Pujols and pitcher C.J. Wilson.
In an uncharacteristically poor performance from Rangers' ace C.J. Wilson and closer Neftali Feliz, the Rangers lost a high scoring affair 9-8 to the Twins.
In a rare sight, All Star starter Jered Weaver faced off against All Star reliever C.J. Wilson in a battle that would come down to a Ranger error.
The Rangers fell to the Angels 1-0 and lose the series.
Unlike the 2011 Home-Run derby, the big hits came from the National League as they clinched home-field advantage in the World Series, downing the AL 5-1.
The Texas Rangers lost yesterday 3-2 in 12 innings to the New York Yankees to complete the sweep. This is the first time the Rangers have been swept this season.
This loss also marks the 5th loss in a row for the Rangers, their longest losing streak this season.
The Texas Rangers (36-29) used singles and doubles with smart base running to thoroughly defeat the Minnesota Twins, 9-3. Their first win at Target Field.
