After being shut out for 6 2/3 innings by Colby Lewis, the Mariners finally snapped a drought of 23 scoreless frames when Dustin Ackley singled home a run in the eighth against reliever Alexi Ogando, denying the Rangers a shot at their third shutout victory in four games.

Michael Young put the Rangers on the board first when he singled Josh Hamilton home in the first inning. Kinsler and Andrus made it 3-0 in the seventh when they hit back-to-back solo homers with two out against Mariners reliever Steve Delabar.
