DALLAS, Texas - The Texas Rangers routed the Detroit Tigers 15-5 on Saturday to win the American League Championship Series and reach the World Series for the second straight year.
Texas scored nine runs in the third inning and slugger Nelson Cruz set a post-season record with his sixth home run of the series, as the Rangers took the title four games to two - becoming the first repeat American League champions in a decade.
Last season, the Rangers reached the World Series for the first time, but fell to the San Francisco Giants.
