ARLINGTON, Texas — Scott Feldman and three Texas Rangers relievers pulled off a rare feat at their hitter-friendly ballpark.

The foursome scattered five hits and David Murphy hit a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning to help the AL West-leading Rangers win their seventh straight, 3-0, over the Los Angeles Angels yesterday.

The Rangers shut out the Angels in Texas for the first time since 2003 and had their first home shutout since last September.

"We got great pitching, great defense and timely hitting," said Rangers manager Ron Washington after his team completed a six-game homestand with a sweep of their division rival. "I don't think it can get any better than that, the three games we played at that level. It was a great series. We played good baseball for six days at home."

Ian Kinsler and Marlon Byrd had RBI doubles, and the Rangers have their longest streak since winning nine straight from May 20-31, 2005. Texas, which has won 13 of 15 and leads the Angels by 4 1/2 in the division, also moved nine games over .500 (23-14) for the first time since June 1, 2005.

Feldman and Jered Weaver (3-2) were in command until Texas broke through in the seventh when Hank Blalock led off with a double, went to third on Nelson Cruz's single and scored on Murphy's fly to right.

Jason Jennings (1-1) pitched the seventh for the win. Eddie Guardado allowed a walk in two-thirds of an inning, and Darren O'Day got four outs in his first major league save opportunity.

Fans chanted "sweep! sweep!" after O'Day recorded the final out on a strikeout of Gary Matthews.

"It was awesome. I can't say enough about the fans and hearing that 'sweep' chant going through the crowd," said O'Day, who pitched for the Angels last season. "Coming here last year with the opposing team, I didn't hear anything like that."

The Angels were the popular preseason pick to win the division, but the Rangers have been surprising early leaders.

"It's early in the season," Weaver said. "It isn't time for statements yet."

RAYS 7, INDIANS 5:

Andy Sonnanstine delivered after a pregame mistake forced the pitcher to bat, hitting an RBI double in the host Rays' victory over the Indians. The game was delayed 13 minutes before the bottom of the first due to a lineup card error by the Rays that listed both Ben Zobrist and Evan Longoria as the third baseman. Longoria was supposed to be DH, but Tampa Bay lost that position because of the snafu and was forced to put Sonnanstine in the third spot of the lineup. Sonnanstine (2-4) went 1 for 3, with his run-scoring double in the fourth.

YANKEES 3, TWINS 2:

Johnny Damon homered in the bottom of the 10th inning, giving the Yankees their third straight comeback win over the Twins that was capped by a game-ending hit.

MARINERS 3, RED SOX 2:

Franklin Gutierrez singled under the glove of third baseman Mike Lowell to score Ronny Cedeno with two outs in the ninth inning and give the host Mariners the win.

Ramon Santiago and Curtis Granderson each hit three-run homers, and the Tigers overcame a six-run deficit to finish a three-game sweep of the visiting A's.

BLUE JAYS 8, WHITE SOX 2:

Roy Halladay won his fifth straight start, Adam Lind hit one of three Toronto homers and the host Blue Jays won their AL-leading 26th game. Halladay (8-1) surpassed Kansas City right-hander Zack Greinke for the major league lead in wins by allowing two runs, one earned, over seven innings. He also lowered his ERA to 2.78.

ROYALS 7, ORIOLES 4:

John Buck's RBI triple snapped an eighth-inning tie, and the host Royals overcame four errors to beat the Orioles.
