Greer leads team in 7-4 victory over Padres
ARLINGTON - Rusty Greer continued his one-man show against
National Leaguers, driving in the go-ahead run and scoring another
as the Texas Rangers beat the San Diego Padres, 7-4, Sunday night.
Bobby Witt (8-3) ended a three-game losing streak to win for
the first time since May 20 and John Wetteland pitched the ninth
for his 15th save.
Texas wrapped up the first weekend of interleague play with
a 3-1 record against the NL, and Greer was the main reason.
He went 9 for 12 against San Diego and San Francisco with two
doubles, two homers and four walks. On Sunday, he was 1 for 3,
hit by a pitch, stole a base and made a nice catch against the
wall in left field.
Greer's first-inning strikeout ended a streak of getting on
base in nine straight plate appearances. Since Wednesday, he's
reached base in 17 of his last 20 tries.Send a Letter to
