Blake Beavan shut down the Rangers for eight innings to win Friday night. The other player in last year's Cliff Lee-Justin Smoak deal came up big tonight, limiting the Texas offense to just four hits and combining with Brandon League on a shutout. Thanks to the rookie's performance, the Rangers couldn't capitalize on the Angels' loss earlier in the night. Beavan is 5-5 with a 3.92 ERA to date.
