The Rangers lost their fifth straight to Seattle and dropped to 7-14. Veteran lefty Wandy Rodriguez gave up four runs on five hits and five walks in 4 1/3 innings in his second start for the Rangers.
"I felt like against Felix there were some good at-bats," said Rangers manager Jeff Banister. "We hit the ball hard. I felt like we had an opportunity to put runs up on the board."
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Cruz clobbers another one: Nelson Cruz didn't get cheated on his 10th home run of the season for Seattle, launching a shot into the second deck in left field to lead off the second against Rodriguez.
