Powell's big night fuels Indians past Rangers in 7-5 win
Big Boog Powell slammed two homers and five RBIs, lifting Cleveland over Texas 7-5 as he snapped a season-long slump. He connected on a fourth-inning homer with Rico Carty aboard and a decisive eighth-inning shot, adding a ninth-inning RBI single. The Rangers dropped their sixth straight as Powell continued his late run production amid ankle, shoulder and knee injuries.
