Rangers Complete Sweep of Royals

small kcrARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – Mitch Moreland homered for the fifth time in his last five starts and Lucas Harrell won in his Texas debut as the Rangers beat the Kansas City Royals 5-3 on Sunday to finish a sweep of the four-game series.

Harrell (3-2) gave up three runs and four hits – including solo home runs to Eric Hosmer and Drew Butera – in six innings. The 31-year-old right-hander was acquired from Atlanta last Wednesday to help the Rangers’ injury-riddled starting rotation.

Moreland’s two-run homer was his 18th this season, the last five coming within 16 at-bats. Nomar Mazara also homered against the Royals, who have allowed an AL-high 141 homers this season.

Sam Dyson earned his 22nd save.
