Leonys Martin ended a scoreless duel Broncos Von Miller Jersey with an RBI single in the ninth inning, and Texas carved out a 2-0 victory Thursday night behind a dominant pitching performance by Yovani Gallardo and three relievers.

''The ball didn't fly like it had been,'' Texas manager Jeff Banister said. ''Gausman had the game in control Womens Paul Kruger Jersey there for a while and really didn't give our guys a whole lot to hit. We struggled a little bit against him, but we were able to push a couple runs across and felt good about getting away with a W.''
After Shin-Soo Choo led off the ninth with a walk from Chaz Roe (2-1) and moved up on a bunt, Martin ended a 4-for-34 slump with a single to center.
''It was an exciting moment for me and for my team,'' said Martin, who came in batting .224. ''To find a way to win a ballgame today was exciting.''
Martin came home on a single by Rougned Odor.
