BALTIMORE -- After the Baltimore Orioles repeatedly failed to get a clutch hit, the Texas Rangers got one after another in a big inning that ultimately decided a duel between AL playoff contenders. Ian Kinsler capped a six-run sixth with a bases-loaded double, and the Rangers rolled to an 8-5 victory Monday night to move 15 games over .500 (52-37) for the first time since May 25. "My team is very confident right now," manager Ron Washington said. "We just try to go out every day and play the best game we can. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose, but we certainly dont question things. We just try to play good baseball." Kinsler matched his career high with four RBIs, including three in the sixth against former teammate Scott Feldman (0-1) when the Rangers turned a 3-2 deficit into an 8-3 lead. "He came up in that situation and delivered," Washington said of Kinsler. Baltimore, conversely, stranded 10 and went 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position. "The game turned on a big inning, and we were unable to come back from it," Baltimores Adam Jones said. The victory improved Texas road record to 25-18, best in franchise history after 43 games. The Rangers have won seven of their last eight on the road. It was the first game between the teams since Baltimore eliminated Texas from the AL playoffs with a 5-1 win last October. Not counting that defeat, the Rangers have won 11 of 14 against the Orioles. Derek Holland (7-4) allowed five runs, three earned, and 10 hits in 6 2-3 innings for Texas. He struck out Matt Wieters and major-league home run leader Chris Davis three times apiece. "I felt good, everything was good, but for the most part, I really have to pitch better than that," said Holland, who threw a career-high 125 pitches. "The guys gave me some runs and I gave them right back up. Give Wash credit for letting me stay out there. He had confidence in me and I have confidence as well. I just didnt get the job done." Joe Nathan worked a perfect ninth for his 30th save, tied for the AL lead. Wieters homered and Manny Machado had three hits for the Orioles. Davis and Wieters both struck out four times, the last times against Nathan in the ninth. Making his home debut after being obtained in a July 2 trade with the Chicago Cubs, Feldman went up against the team he played with for eight seasons through 2012. The right-hander yielded seven runs and nine hits in 5 1-3 innings. The key, of course, was the sixth. A.J. Pierzynski doubled in a run and Elvis Andrus chased Feldman with an RBI single for a 4-3 lead. Engel Beltre greeted Troy Patton with a run-scoring single before Kinsler doubled into the left-field corner. "That sixth inning was a rough one," the right-hander said. "Made some decent pitches, just seemed like everything they were hitting that inning kind of was like in a great spot." Wieters hit his 12th homer, a two-run drive in the seventh, to get Baltimore to 8-5. The Orioles went 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position over the first three innings, and although they came back to take the lead, the squandered opportunities cost them in the end. "Yeah, we had our chances," Wieters said. "We were able to get guys on with no outs and just couldnt quite get them in." Texas went up 1-0 in the third when Andrus hit a leadoff single and scored on a two-out single by Kinsler. The Rangers added a run in the fourth on an RBI single by Mitch Moreland. Feldman avoided further damage by getting Andrus to hit into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded. Baltimore took a 3-2 lead in the bottom half. A walk, a double and a throwing error by Moreland on Brian Roberts RBI grounder to first base produced two runs, and Machado added a two-out RBI single. With the bases loaded and two outs, Holland struck out Wieters for the third time. NOTES: Texas has scored at least five runs in a season-high five straight games. ...

It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others. Darren Sammy, who led West Indies to two World T20 titles, has said in a video posted on his Facebook account that he wont be the West Indies T20 captain anymore. In the video posted on Friday, Sammy said the chairman of selectors informed him via a phone call that they had reviewed the captaincy of T20, and he did not merit a place in the West Indies squad.I got a call yesterday morning, it was probably 30 seconds, from the chairman of selectors telling me that theyve reviewed the captaincy of T20 and I wont be captain anymore of the T20 team, [and] my performances have not merited selection in the squad, Sammy said in the video.Thats okay, Ive always believed West Indies cricket is not about Darren Sammy. They are looking to the future and I wanna wish the new captain - I dont know if its out yet so I wont call any names - all the best as he looks to lead West Indies cricket and take it forward.Obviously, throughout my captaincy, winning the two [T20] World Cups has been the highlight. And these memories I will cherish for a long time. This is not me retiring from one-day or T20, its just me thanking the fans and my players and the coaches Ive worked with and WICB for…yeah, letting me lead the side for the last six years. But for now the captaincy has come to an end and thank you people.I just know I played with my heart and soul whenever I stepped out on the cricket field.In an emotional six-minute long video, Sammy first spoke about the CPL campaign of his team St Lucia Zouks, that lost the eliminator to Trinbago Knight Riders on Thursday, before talking about losing his West Indies captaincy and his exclusion from the T20 squad. The limited-overs team is scheduled to play two T20Is against India in Florida at the end of the month.Six yearss ago I was asked to captain West Indies, a task which I fought [and] would be the biggest challenge in my career, in my life, Sammy said.dddddddddddd A task which I know would be so difficult but guess what…I took it head on. I embraced the challenge, I embraced the difficulty. I turn up at the office which is my playground, the cricket field, every day and put in the work.I started off with Ottis Gibson [then West Indies coach]. I want to thank you buddy for believing in me and now it has ended up with Phil [Simmons]. To my players all over the years, whove been part of the team and whove been under my captaincy, I want to thank you all for all the support. Weve had our ups and downs but I have never given up hope, I have never stopped believing in myself and in the team. That is what I was about as captain - trying to instill positive, never-say-die attitude into my players. The result we won two World Cups and I want to thank all of you.Like Sammy, West Indies wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin chose social media to tweet about his exclusion from the Test side that was to play against India at home.Sammy led West Indies to the 2016 World T20 title four months ago, to go with the trophy won in 2012 in Sri Lanka. He did not have much of an impact with bat and ball though: he faced 13 balls in his three innings, scoring eight runs, and bowled three overs, taking one wicket.Sammy led West Indies in 47 T20Is, starting in 2011, with 27 wins. After winning the T20 title in Kolkata in April this year, he gave an emotional speech at the post-match presentation, expressing his disappointment at the lack of support from the WICB. ' ' '
