Righthander Eric Hurley (Ranger) improved to 2-3 with seven shutout innings yesterday against New Orleans. He allowed six hits while striking five and walking three. He attributed much of the success to improved mechanics, telling The Oklahoman:

"We’re trying to get my body in a little better position so I can hold my form all the way down the hill. It’s something I wanted to do. Everybody liked it today, so I’m going to keep working on it.”
