ARLINGTON, Texas - Alexi Ogando kept insisting he felt fine and wasnt wearing out only halfway through the season for the Texas Rangers. Maybe now everybody will believe him. Ogando limited the Florida Marlins to two runs and five hits over 6 2-3 innings with a career-high eight strikeouts, ending the right-handers personal three-game losing streak in the Rangers 15-5 victory Friday night when Nelson Cruz homered and had six RBIs on his 31st birthday. "Ogando never wavered from his confidence, and more than what we thought, it was about what he thought, and its obvious he kept saying that he was OK," manager Ron Washington said. "Tonight, he went out there and he did it." Ogando (8-3), a converted outfielder who had never been a starter before this season, hadnt pitched past the fifth inning in any of his previous three starts. He was 7-0 with a 2.10 earned-run average his first 12 starts before that. "I never say that Im tired, I never admitted that, never think that Im tired. I always told you that Im OK, that my arm is right and my energy is there," Ogando said through a translator. "Im new starting games, been learning every outing." He got plenty of help from the Rangers offence, which rebounded for a shutout loss in Houston the previous night to score a season-high 15 runs. Texas got its first seven runs in 3 2-3 innings off Anibal Sanchez (6-2), who saw the end of his Marlins season record of 14 consecutive starts without a loss. "Hes a better pitcher than that. You could see he wasnt in tune tonight," manager Jack McKeon said. "He doesnt generally walk anybody. He got behind guys, walked guys, nibbled with them and missed with his breaking ball. This is a hitting club over here. You cant mess around with them. And he killed himself, walking two leadoff guys. Thats like a kiss of death really. They always score, I dont care where youre at." Michael Young led off the second with a walk and put the AL West-leading Rangers ahead to stay when he scored on the first of Taylor Teagardens two doubles. Beltre had an RBI single in the third before Cruz hit his 19th homer -- a 412-foot, three-run blast over the Rangers bullpen in right-centre -- to make it 5-0. After the Marlins intentionally walked reigning AL MVP Josh Hamilton to load the bases with two outs in the fourth, Beltre hit a two-run double to right to chase Sanchez. Andres Blanco led off the Texas eighth with his second homer, starting a six-run outburst that included a three-run triple by Cruz. "It was a good birthday," Cruz said, giving plenty of credit to Ogando. "Its not that easy and the way hes been doing it is amazing," Cruz said. "After three bad starts, its good for him to come back strong." The Marlins didnt even have a baserunner until Hanley Ramirez led off the fifth with a walk. They got their first hit on Greg Dobbs two-out single that inning, though they didnt score after John Buck struck out. While Sanchez was getting knocked around, Ogando threw 29 of his first 36 pitches through three innings for strikes. Ogando struck out six while retiring the first 12 Marlins batters mixing all of his pitches. Ogando threw 102 pitches, 75 for strikes, and really had no trouble until the seventh when Florida started with three consecutive hits to finally score against him. Last Saturday against the New York Mets, Ogando gave up eight hits and six runs while throwing 76 pitches over three innings. He trailed 3-0 after only four batters. He was dehydrated when he left his previous start after throwing 104 pitches over five innings on a hot afternoon in Atlanta. He gave up six runs in only 1 2-3 innings at the New York Yankees on June 14. The losing streak had raised questions about whether he was wearing out and the Rangers had even discussed bypassing one of his last starts before the all-star break. He has thrown 97 2-3 innings, already 25 more than he did combined last season in 18 minor league games and then 44 appearances as a setup reliever for the Rangers. Washington said there are still thoughts about giving Ogando a break. The only other loss for Sanchez this season was also in Texas, on April 10 at Houston when he gave up six runs and 13 hits in 4 2-3 innings in his second start. Sanchez hasnt won since June 10 against Arizona despite allowing only four runs over 20 innings his previous three starts -- all no-decisions in one-run losses by the Marlins. Reliever Brian Sanches was done after giving up consecutive two-out RBI doubles to Hamilton and Beltre in the sixth that gave Texas a 9-0 lead. Notes: Beltre has 18 RBIs his last 21 games, and has 61 for the season. ... Texas opened a stretch of 10 consecutive home games before the All-Star break. ... The only other time the Marlins played at Rangers Ballpark was 2003, when McKeon was also their manager. McKeon, now 80, became the Florida manager again last week. Back in 1963, McKeon managed the Dallas-Fort Worth Rangers, a Triple-A team for the Minnesota Twins. That was nine seasons before the major league Rangers came into existence when the Washington Senators moved their franchise to the Lone Star State.

EDMONTON -- The New York Rangers showed on Sunday the kind of hockey they are hoping to consistently display come playoff time. Backup goaltender Cam Talbot stopped 26 shots for his third career shutout and Rick Nash and Mats Zuccarello each scored a pair of goals as the Rangers won their sixth game in their last seven outings, defeating the second-last place Edmonton Oilers 5-0. Derek Brassard also scored for the Rangers (42-30-4) who had two short-handed goals in the game to move two points up on the Philadelphia Flyers for second place in the Metropolitan Division. "On some nights you need some bounces and we got a couple tonight," said Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault. "Our penalty killing gave us two big goals tonight, which was good to see. "We hadnt played as well as we would have liked defensively in (a 4-3 loss to) Calgary on Friday. We were a lot better tonight." Centre Derek Stepan, who had three assists in the game, agreed with his coach. "We tightened it up and moving forward we have to play that way because the points are so big," said Stepan. "We have played a good defensive game over the last few weeks and that is what is going to lead to our offence and help us win." Nash said it is important that his team ramps it up down the stretch as they hope for a strong playoff run. "We have kind of a mini-playoffs right now just to get in," he said. "We are looking at every game as a must-win right now. You look at the teams that have success in the playoffs and it is usually ones that are playing well going in." The Rangers tied their franchise record for road wins with 24 this season. The Oilers (26-40-9) have lost four of their last five games. Edmontons Ryan Nugent-Hopkins said a team cant surrender two short-handed goals in a game and expect to have any success. "Its something that cant happen," he said. "Weve given up the most short-handed goals this season and its something that we cant afford to do. Whatever the reason, I think were a little overzealous and want to help guys out, but at the same time we have to be more cautious. "Teams are trying to capitalize on the penalty kill, they dont just dump it out every time. We have to be aware of that and its something that we have to be better at for sure." It was the ninth time this season that the Oilers have been shut out. "A lot of people say were a team that can score goals, but if you look at goals for in the league, were not even in the top 15," said Oilers forward David Perron. "We cant cheat to make plays and sometimes were guilty of that and that shows right away against teams that play the right way. "We sure werent generating anything. I dont think there was a minute in the game that we wanted. It was pretty embarrassing to play like that." Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins echoed Perrons sentiment, noting that the lack of offence on his team is something the organization will hope to adddress in the off-season.dddddddddddd "There is a misconception about this team," he said. "This is not a high-powered offensive team. Its not. The history over the last four or five years knows that. We have to find a way to manufacture some offence and its something that were going to have to look into this summer as we add and subtract." Edmonton goalie Ben Scrivens kept it scoreless seven minutes into the game with a huge kick save after Nash split the defence to go in alone on the power play. New York took a 1-0 lead with three-and-a-half minutes to play in the opening frame as Zuccarello tipped in an Anton Stralman shot on a play that Scrivens argued involved a high stick. It was reviewed and stuck as Zuccarellos 16th of the season. The Rangers almost had a two-goal lead two minutes later as a puck got behind Scrivens, but the goaltender was able to fish it to safety during a mad scramble in front of the net before it crossed the goal-line. The visiting team had eight first period shots, while the Oilers only mustered three on Talbot. New York took a 2-0 lead five minutes into the second period on the power play, on Brassards knuckler of a shot form the sideboards that seemed to catch Scrivens off guard. The Rangers made it a three-goal advantage with 11 minutes left in the second period as Nash threw a hopeful backhand from behind the goal-line in front and it hit Scrivens and went into the net to count as Nashs 24th goal of the season. New York continued to dominate as they made it 4-0 with seven minutes left in the second period on a short-handed two-on-one break with Nash converting a pass from Stepan. The Rangers upped their lead to 5-0 on another short-handed goal four minutes into the third period as defender Philip Larsen overcommitted to covering Stepan. He was able to earn his third assist with a feed to Zuccarello in front of the net for his second goal of the night. It was the 13th short-handed goal the Oilers have allowed this season. Both teams return to the ice on Tuesday as the Rangers play the third game of a four-game trip in Vancouver and the Oilers take their final three-game road trip of the season, starting in San Jose. Notes: It was the second and final meeting between the two teams this season. The Oilers won the first match-up 2-1 on Feb. 6 as Scrivens made 35 saves at Madison Square Garden. a The Oilers may be in second-last in the NHL, but they came into the game with a winning record against Eastern Conference teams, sitting at 14-13-4 before the loss. a Rangers forward Martin St. Louis has yet to score in his 14 games with New York since being traded there for Ryan Callahan and two draft picks. a Rangers forward Daniel Carcillo returned from a bout with the flu. ... Remaining out for New York were defenceman John Moore (concussion) and forward Chris Kreider (left hand). a Out for the Oilers were forwards Ryan Jones (knee) and Nail Yakupov (ankle), and defenceman Andrew Ference (chest). cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
