Minor League Report – A look at one of the best prospects

Minor League Report – A look at one of the best prospects

Justin Grimm, RHP, double-A Frisco: It almost seems like a formality at this point, but Grimm did make one final minor league start last Sunday before his big league debut. Grimm was strong again, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out eight. He was lifted after the seventh inning. Then, as you might remember, he struck out seven and allowing three runs across seven innings of work Saturday for the Rangers. It’s hard to know just what the Rangers’ plans are for Grimm at this point. When Roy Oswalt and Derek Holland are ready to go, he could find himself back at Frisco… or he could pull a Robbie Ross and find himself in the bullpen. Either way, you know that he’s front and center on the big league radar now.

Rangers Vs. Orioles: Texas Takes Series With 7-3 Win

Josh Hamilton hit another home run as the Rangers won the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Orioles in Baltimore, along with the series.
Derek Holland got the start for Texas and gave up three runs on four hits over six innings. All three runs came in the second inning. Texas scored the first runs of the game with Hamilton's two-run blast in the first inning. In the fifth inning, Mike Napoli tied the game on a triple and was later scored on a single by Elvis Andrus, giving the Rangers the lead. Texas tacked on three more in the seventh.
Hamilton went 1-for-4, while Napoli went 2-for-4. After taking one out of three games in its previous three series, the Rangers finished a 10-game road trip on a high note, taking three of four games in Baltimore. Texas will now head home for seven games.
