Josh Hamilton and Nelson Cruz each homered in a five-run seventh inning for Texas, which has won 14 of the last 17 against Cleveland, including nine of 10 here. The Rangers have won nine of 12 overall.
Cleveland starter Justin Masterson (5-4) dropped his fourth straight decision after winning his first five starts, allowing four runs and 10 hits in 6 1/3 innings.
