Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - Scott Feldman is making the most out of his
latest opportunity.
The 29-year-old right-hander spun eight scoreless innings, helping the Texas
Rangers snap a five-game losing streak to the Chicago White Sox with a 2-0
triumph in the finale of a three-game set.
Feldman (5-6) fanned five and scattered seven hits. He is 5-0 over his last
six appearances -- five starts -- after starting the year 0-6. He's the first
pitcher to lose his first six-plus decisions in a season, and then immediately
follow with a five-game winning streak.
Feldman made a spot-start on Monday in favor of Roy Oswalt, who was scratched
with back tightness, and was moved back into the rotation when it was
announced that Colby Lewis will miss the remainder of the season with a torn
tendon in his pitching elbow.
Gavin Floyd (8-9) surrendered two runs -- one earned -- on seven hits and five
walks in 6 2/3 innings for the White Sox, who had their five-game winning
streak snapped.
