Saltalamacchia drives in four as Rangers outslug Diamondbacks

Mar 20, 2008 - 11:31 PM TUCSON, Arizona (Ticker) -- Jarrod Saltalamacchia homered and drove in four runs to lead the Texas Rangers to an 8-7 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in a Cactus League battle on Thursday.

Kevin Millwood started and pitched five scoreless innings for the Rangers, yielding three hits and a walk while striking out five.

The Diamondbacks, led by Chris Young's homer and two RBI, got to the Rangers' bullpen for seven runs and 13 hits but came up just short in the ninth inning. Trot Nixon drove in his 10th run of the spring and Alex Romero had three hits for Arizona.

Hank Blalock's solo blast in the eighth inning provided the winning margin for Texas.

Diamondbacks rookie Billy Buckner started and yielded five runs and four hits while walking two and striking out a pair.
