04/23/2009 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Scott Richmond fanned eight over six strong innings, as Toronto beat Texas, 5-2, in the rubber match of a three-game series.
Alex Rios belted a two-run homer in the fifth inning, while Vernon Wells and Lyle Overbay added solo shots in the second frame for Toronto, which has won four of its last five games.
The 29-year-old Richmond (2-0), a native of Vancouver and just the sixth Canadian pitcher to ever appear in a Blue Jays uniform, gave up six hits and two runs, both on homers, and walked a pair of batters.
Kevin Millwood (1-2) was charged with five hits and four runs over seven innings.
Josh Hamilton and Chris Davis homered for the Rangers, who are 3-9 since starting the season with three consecutive victories.
Wells homered to left-center on the first pitch of the bottom of the second. With two outs, Overbay homered to center.
Hamilton homered with one out in the fourth, and the Rangers put runners at the corners after Hank Blalock doubled and Nelson Cruz singled. Richmond settled down and fanned Davis. Cruz stole second and David Murphy walked to load the bases, but Taylor Teagarden struck out to end the inning.
Aaron Hill doubled with two outs in the fifth and Rios followed with a homer to left, making it 4-1.
Davis went deep to right-center the next inning, but after walking Murphy, Richmond struck out Teagarden.
Brandon League pitched a perfect seventh inning for Toronto, while Jesse Carlson worked around a lead-off single to Hamilton and struck out the ensuing two batters before Shawn Camp fanned pinch-hitter Andruw Jones to end the inning.
Scott Rolen singled in Adam Lind in the Toronto eighth, and Scott Downs pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his first save of the year.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
