Ian Kinsler looks to stay hot for Rangers

Apr 30, 2007 - 1:32 PM Texas (10-14) at Toronto (12-12) 7:07 pm EDT

TORONTO (Ticker) - Ian Kinsler looks for an emphatic finish to a big first month as the Texas Rangers visit the Toronto Blue Jays in the finale of a four-game series Monday.

Kinsler has homered nine times in April, tying Ivan Rodriguez (2000), Alex Rodriguez (2002) and Carl Everett (2003) for the club record in the opening month.

As a rookie in 2006, Kinsler hit 14 homers. But this season, he has more homers combined that teammates Brad Wilkerson, Mark Teixeira, Hank Blalock and Michael Young.

Kinsler may have a tough time setting a new club mark since the Blue Jays send ace Roy Halladay (3-0, 2.58 ERA) to the mound. The 2003 Cy Young winner is off to another hot start, winning his first three decisions.

The Rangers counter with Vicente Padilla (0-3, 5.79). Texas has lost all five of the righthander's starts, while managing more than four runs just once.

Toronto is seeking a split of the series.
