The Rangers beat the Indians Sunday to win the series 2-1, improving to 79-54, a feat previously accomplished by the 1999 team.

The win also marked manager Ron Washington’s 506th win, putting him in a tie with Johnny Oates for the spot behind Bobby Valentine (581) for most wins in Rangers’ history.

The Rangers hit well in August and their bats have remained hot into September. Only three games into the month and they have all racked up 11 home runs and 19 RBIs.

That doesn’t include the other five RBIs Texas scored in the series opener against Cleveland on Aug, 31. Eleven homers and 24 runs driven in over a four game stretch is an impressive offense.

“Texas is probably the best team in baseball, period,” Indians Manager Manny Acta told CBS.

Texas relied on the bats of David Murphy, Josh Hamilton and Adrian Beltre most of August and it appears the trio will continue its hot streak into September as each hit solo home runs in the Texas fifth on Sunday.

Derek Holland (10-6) got his third consecutive win, giving up only two runs over seven innings of work.

All the Rangers’ starting pitchers performed well in their outings against Cleveland, with all of them going at least into the sixth inning.

When Ian Kinsler was scratched from the rotation at the last minute, 19-year-old Jurickson Profar was asked to step in. He hit his first home run at his first at-bat in the majors.

Profar overtook teammate Adrian Beltre as the youngest player to hit a homer. Beltre accomplished the feat in 1998 for the LA Dodgers. Profar is also the first player born in 1993 to play in the majors.

Texas began a four game series with Kansas City with a win on Monday beating the Royals 8-4.

Yu Darvish continued Texas’ strong pitching, working his way through the seventh inning giving up only three runs.

Texas’ pitching and hitting are firing at all cylinders; they may be peaking at just the right time.
