Rangers Bullpen Beats Yankees Down

Texas takes two of three from Bronx Bombers.

Ian Kinsler homered twice, the Texas bullpen pitched shutout ball and the Rangers became the first visitors to win a series at Yankee Stadium since mid-June, beating New York 7-2 Thursday.

Chris Davis also had a three-run homer for Texas, which took two of three from the club with the best record in the majors.

Jason Grilli, C.J. Wilson and Frank Francisco combined for 5 1-3 innings of two-hit relief.

Neither starter let the other side hit the ball much, either -- for different reasons.

A.J. Burnett (10-8) lost despite striking out a season-high 12 in six innings. Texas' Dustin Nippert was pulled after walking seven in 3 2-3 innings.
