Jon Gray gave the Texas Rangers a fourth consecutive quality start and Marcus Semien and Adolis Garcia each belted two-run homers to snap losing streak.
The Rangers are off Thursday before hosting a three-game set against the Los Angeles Angels beginning on Friday.
Rangers sluggers are in something of a zone of late, too. Texas hit two home runs, including a two-run shot by's two-run homer in the sixth made it 4-0. Garcia, Corey Seager, and Nathaniel Lowe each homered in Tuesday's loss. Gray earned the win after holding the Guardians scoreless on four hits and two walks in 6.1 innings. He struck out three.

Cleveland only twice had runners in scoring position the entire game.
Although the Rangers managed only seven hits, their power stroke has returned. The club hit seven homers in the first 13 games in May, but has five in the past two. Jose Leclerc hit a batter but had a strikeout and forced pop-out to end the seventh for Gray.
