ARLINGTON, Texas, Aug. 27 (UPI) -- Adrian Beltre drove in four runs Monday, including the go-ahead RBI in the fifth inning of the Texas Rangers' 6-5 decision over Tampa Bay.
With the score tied 5-5 in the fifth, Elvis Andrus and Josh Hamilton led off with singles and Beltre followed with a third straight hit off Rays starter David Price (16-5), providing the winning margin.
Beltre finished 3-for-3 with a solo homer -- going back-to-back with Nelson Cruz in the second inning -- and added a two-run double in the next frame.
Starter Derek Holland (9-6) allowed five runs (three earned) on six hits over six innings before the Rangers' bullpen took over.
Alexi Ogando and Mike Adams each tossed a scoreless frame and Joe Nathan secured the win with his 26th save for American League West-leading Texas.
Price was roughed up for 10 hits over four full innings, yielding six runs.
Evan Longoria belted a two-run homer and B.J Upton also knocked in a pair for the AL wild card-leading Rays, who dropped the opener of a three-game series.
