THE Texas Rangers pressured Tampa Bay pitcher James Shields into an uncharacteristically wild performance and beat the Rays 8-6 on Saturday to square their American League division series at 1-1.
The Rangers fell behind 0-3 early and it looked like their home record in the ALDS was going to slip to 0-8. Texas pitcher Derek Holland issued a bases-loaded walk in the first to open the scoring, then allowed a two-run homer to Matt Joyce in the top of the fourth.
The game turned around in the bottom of the fourth. Elvis Andrus was hit by a pitch leading off the inning. Josh Hamilton then singled, and Michael Young's single loaded the bases. The Rangers then got their first run of the series when Shields hit Adrian Beltre with a fastball near his left knee, forcing in a run.
Mike Napoli followed with a full-count single that drove in two runs, tying the game 3-3.
Shields allowed seven runs in five-plus innings. He had hit only five batters and thrown four wild pitches over 249 1/3 innings in his 33 regular-season starts.
In New York, Robinson Cano hit a grand slam and drove in six runs, rookie Ivan Nova pitched brilliantly into the ninth inning as the New York Yankees shook off a 23-hour rain delay to beat the Detroit Tigers 9-3 in their suspended playoff opener.
A day after rain wiped out aces Justin Verlander and CC Sabathia after only 1 1/2 innings, the game resumed in the bottom of the second at 1-1.
In the National League division series, the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-1 while the Philadelphia Phillies topped the St Louis Cardinals 11-6.
