The Texas Rangers took the field in the hope of continuing their scoreless streak, but the night didn't start well for the hometown boys.  After only 12 pitches, Ranger starter Kevin Millwood had to leave the game with a groin injury.Long relief man Josh Rupe tried to preserve the shutout streak.  However in the third inning, Oakland pushed a run across following an Ian Kinsler throwing error.  The Rangers consecutive scoreless streak came to an end at 33. The major league record is still held by the 1903 Pittsburgh Pirates at 52 innings.Milton Bradley provided the early offense for the Rangers.

In the first inning, he hit a two-out double that scored Josh Hamilton. In the third, he hit a two-run homer onto the grassy hill in center field. Oakland would pull within one a half-inning later, but another two-out single by Josh Hamilton in the seventh extended the Ranger lead to 4-2. Hamilton leads the league with 38 RBI.  The Rangers would tack on two more in the eighth behind German Duran's (pictured above) first career double, scoring Frank Catalanotto; and an RBI single by Kinsler scoring Duran.  The eighth inning would prove vital to the Rangers' win as Frank Thomas would drive in two runs for Oakland in the ninth.  The rally fell short, and the Rangers defeated the Athletics 6-4, pulling the Rangers to within four games on the AL West lead and within two games of a .500 record.The Rangers and Athletics will wrap up their series today at 2:05 Central Time.  The Rangers look to improve their longest winning streak of the season with Sidney Ponson on the mound.  Oakland is expected to activate Rich Harden off the DL for the game.. GENEVA (Reuters) - The World Health Organization said on Friday it was calling an emergency committee to advise whether outbreaks of swine flu in humans in the United States and Mexico constituted an international public health threat. OTTAWA (Reuters) - An outbreak of swine flu in Ontario, Canada's most populous province, would not be as serious as the 2003 SARS epidemic, in part because authorities have been preparing for decades to fight widespread influenza, a senior provincial medical official said on Friday U.S.  |  Health  |  MexicoDr. Michael Gardam, director of infectious disease prevention and control at Ontario's public health agency, said in an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that the swine flu was sensitive to anti-viral drugs.A deadly swine flu has broken out in Mexico, killing at least 16 people and raising fears of an epidemic.

The virus has been linked to a new kind of swine flu contracted by seven people in California and Texas, which border Mexico.The Geneva-based U.N. agency WHO said it was in daily contact with U.S., Canadian and Mexican authorities and had activated its command and control center for acute public health events.Thousands of Canadians take Mexican vacations every year.A spokesman for the public health authority in Toronto, Ontario -- Canada's largest city -- said there had been no reported cases so far.The 2003 outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, killed 44 people in Canada, the highest death toll outside of Asia. Most of those killed lived in Ontario, which is home to about 13 million people."Influenza is different from SARS. Unlike SARS, where we really didn't know what we were dealing with, influenza is something that we have spent literally years, if not decades, planning for," Gardam said."We've been doing a lot of work in this country preparing people for something like this," he told the CBC.Preparations included stockpiling anti-viral drugs as well as warning people to wash their hands frequently and to cover their nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing."This particular virus is actually sensitive to the anti-viral drugs that people have been stockpiling over the last several years," he said.Gardam said flu viruses mutated constantly and that the swine flu was another mutation."A virus like this might have the potential to spread more widely that the usual flu viruses.

It doesn't, however, mean that it will necessarily be more dangerous than your regular flu viruses," he said.He added: "We're not treating this like SARS at this point, where we're telling people to be quarantined or isolated," he said.Gardam said that if there were an increase in flu cases in Canada, they would most likely be linked to Mexico and the United States.(Reporting by David Ljunggren and Scott Anderson) U.S. Health Mexico. The Cincinnati Reds, behind stellar pitching by Bronson Arroyo and five hits by Jeff Keppinger, beat the New York Mets 7-1, earning a split in Saturday's doubleheader at Shea Stadium.After being pummeled 12-6 in the earlier game, the Reds needed a very strong outing from Arroyo, and that is exactly what they got. Arroyo (2-4), who last time out gave up seven runs in a loss to the Braves in Atlanta, gave his team eight innings with four hits, one run and nine strikeouts. With the pressure off from Arroyo's solid pitching the Reds hitters were able to relax and do their job.Leading the way for the Reds was shortstop Jeff Keppinger, a former New York Met, He went 5-for-5 with 1 RBI and 2 runs scored. The Reds scored seven runs without hitting a home run.The rubber match of the series will be at 1:10 EST today with the Reds sending their young phenom Johnny Cueto (2-3) against the Mets' Oliver Perez (2-3)..

The winner here would quickly be a Top 10 contender in the division. Moving on to bigger names, there is certainly a great deal of sorting out to do at the top of this division.  I look for the respective winners of Machida vs Ortiz and Wanderlei vs. Jardine to fight each other some time in the fall.  The man who emerges from these four would move to the 3-5 spot in the division most likely only one more fight from a title shot.  I also look for the formerly scheduled Mauricio "Shogun" Rua vs Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell fight to be rescheduled as soon as each recovers from his knee and hamstring injuries, respectively.  I would hope neither fighter competes in the octagon again until this collision of top 5 Light Heavyweights has been settled.  I'd look for the winner here to move into the #1 contender spot against the winner of Griffin vs.
