Tampa Bay’s Scott Kazmir could have his work cut out for him on Friday as he faces a red-hot Texas offense. The Rangers have scored 18 runs in their last two games, back-to-back wins over the Los Angeles Angels. Hank Blalock hit a two-run home run to give the Rangers a 9-7 win on Wednesday. "We won that game with heart, fight and desire," manager Ron Washington said, "You all had us in the grave, buried and with dirt on us. But we played good baseball tonight. ... The character of the clubhouse showed up tonight." <o:p></o:p>

The Rangers face lefthander Scott Kazmir on Friday. Kazmir was on the disabled list for much of the early part of the season but he came back last weekend and allowed only two runs and four hits to Florida. "I wanted to go out there and prove something," said Kazmir, "I can definitely build off this start and hopefully get on a roll. Kazmir is 4-0 with a 2.09 ERA in seven career starts against Texas. <o:p></o:p>

Tampa Bay is coming off a 5-0 loss at Toronto where they got only four hits. The loss snapped the Rays season-high seven-game winning streak. "We had chances, we just didn't get it done," outfielder Pat Burrell said. The Rays will face Texas starter Tommy Hunter on Friday. Hunter is 0-1 with a 3.86 ERA.<o:p></o:p>
