Alberto relishes role of unlikely Game 2 hero

Delino DeShields delivered the second RBI single of the inning to help the Rangers grab a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five American League Division Series heading back to Texas.

"We got the first game, we were pretty confident going into the second game regardless of Adrian getting hurt," DeShields said. "We were kind of bummed out about that, but we kept our heads up and we came today ready to play. Getting an opportunity to go home and finish the job at home in front of our fans is, you know, what we live for."

Beltre suffered a strained lower back and had to leave Game 1 on Thursday after three innings.
