ARLINGTON, Texas -- Cole Hamels and the Texas Rangers finally clinched the AL West title on the last day of the regular season.
Hamels pitched a three-hitter, Adrian Beltre hit a go-ahead homer and the Rangers beat the Angels 9-2 Sunday, eliminating Los Angeles from playoff contention.
A year after their 95 losses were the most in the American League, two months after they were still eight games out of first place and three days after ensuring themselves a postseason spot, the Rangers wrapped up their sixth division title.
Texas plays its first AL division series game since 2011 on Thursday at Toronto or Kansas City.

Yankees looked pathetic. How they even made it that far is beyond me.

I like Girardi and some of the Yankees players
Hate the fans, bunch of elitist scum.
95% of the crowd were loudmouth wall street types,was rooting for Houston all the way.
Royals will be tough, but Houston pitching tonight was awesome.

I hardly felt that I was watching the Yankees, other than the A-Rod doing nothing part.
And a chick broadcaster!

And good luck to your Rangers.... I really do hope we meet in the ALCS.
