C.J. Wilson spun 6 1/3 scoreless innings while Michael Young and Ian Kinsler hit home runs to lead Texas to a 6-0 win over Tampa Bay and a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-five American League Division Series.

Wilson (1-0) allowed two hits, walked two, hit a batter and struck out seven in putting the Rangers on the brink of winning their first-ever playoff series. Darren Oliver tossed 2 1/3 scoreless innings to complete the Rangers' first-ever postseason shutout.

The left-handed starting tandem of Wilson and Cliff Lee has held the offensively-challenged Rays to a lone run on seven hits and two walks while fanning 17 in the first two contests.[photogallerylink id=32079 align=right]

James Shields (0-1) suffered the loss after allowing four runs on four hits and two critical hit batters, with a pair of strikeouts, for the Rays, who face the prospect of having to win three consecutive games to keep their season alive.
