Three Up/Three Down from Arlington:

Three Up

1. The Rangers scored a knockout against a depleted opponent, left talk of hitting slump in Phoenix. Bottom third of the order accounted for six runs, seven hits and three RBIs.

2. Kevin Millwood rode out a couple bumps to improve his record to 8-5 with another excellent outing at home. Two more starts before the All-Star break, next up against the Angels.

3. Nolan and Ruth made the Smooch Cam for their 42nd anniversary.

Three Down:

1. Give me a second.

2. They so deflated the Diamondbacks that Arizona appears beaten by LAA after only a few innings.

3. No winners in the Home Run Pool.

    Don’t know if you are still checking The Depot, so I’ll ask here:

    How were they able to sign Duran so quickly? I thought he had to clear waivers first.

    1. It is really, really good to see the bats coming back to life.
    2. Millwood struggled some, but still went 6 and got the win.

    We need to have more nights where you have to get creative to come up with the 3 down. Last week was just depressing, hopefully it’s over.

    I haven’t seen where we signed German back, but if so it’s because we gave him his outright release, we didn’t designate him for assignment. That is the Cliff notes answer.

    @ross: we put him on waivers to give him is outright release. he was still put on waivers. that means other teams have a chance to claim him. It just doesn’t sound right that a team could release a player from the 40-man roster and then re-sign him without him clearing waivers. it makes no sense.
