Kinsler, Wilson lead Rangers past Rays

Ian Kinsler hit a pair of solo home runs to 2, in the rubber match of a three-game series.

Wilson (14-6) retired the first 15 hitters he faced and struck out eight over six-plus frames. He allowed two runs on two hits and a walk to bounce back from a forgettable five-inning, six-run effort against the Angels on Saturday.

Michael Young also went deep for AL West-leading Texas, which welcomed back Adrian Beltre from the disabled list and won for the fourth time in six games.

Jeff Niemann (9-6) lost his second decision since returning from the disabled list in late June, as he allowed five runs on six hits in five innings.

Kelly Shoppach homered for the Rays, who have lost three of their last four.
