ARLINGTON, Texas, June 24 (UPI) -- Cuban rookie Leonys Martin tripled and doubled Sunday, driving in three runs in the Texas Rangers' 4-2 interleague victory over Colorado.

Martin's second-inning double drove in Nelson Cruz and he later came in to score on an Elvis Andrus two-bagger, giving the Rangers an early 2-0 lead.

Then in the next frame he delivered a two-out triple, chasing home Cruz and Michael Young for a 4-0 advantage.

Matt Harrison (10-3) logged his sixth win in seven starts, hurling five shutout innings while walking two and striking out three for the American League West-leading Rangers, who took the rubber match of a three-game home series.

Rockies starter Alex White (2-6) was tagged for four runs on six hits, lasting only 2 2/3 innings.

Marco Scutaro contributed two hits and an RBI for Colorado.
