The Rangers roughed up Justin Verlander (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) and sent the AL Central-leading Tigers to their 10th loss in 15 games. Detroit leads Minnesota by 1½ games, while Chicago moved three back.
Matthews led off the game with a single, doubled in the second inning and hit a triple in the fourth. He got his cycle when he led off the sixth with a 418-foot homer to left-center. The All-Star center fielder also walked in the eighth.
Matthews became the third Rangers player to hit for the cycle. He joined Mark Teixeira (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) (2004) and Oddibe McDowell (1985).
