ARLINGTON, Texas -- Early run support went a long way to helping Texas Rangers right-hander A.J. Griffin produce his best outing of the season and outpitch the best road pitcher in the major leagues this season.Mitch Morelands grand slam capped a bizarre, five-run first inning and Griffin pitched six strong innings as the Rangers beat the Cleveland Indians 7-0 Saturday night.I kind of tried to put my blinders on a little bit and execute my game plan, Griffin said of the early lead. That was a big grand slam Mitch hit, for sure.Griffin (6-3) allowed five hits while winning for the first time since Aug. 4. In making his first scoreless start of the season, Griffin didnt allow a home run for the first time in 12 starts.Griffin has routinely lost effectiveness in the middle innings but kept hitters off balance throughout his 95-pitch performance.With A.J., we understand the pitch count, Texas manager Jeff Banister said. He elevates a little bit when hes trying to go down, not as sharp. I was proud of him tonight `cause he stayed sharp.The Indians were unable to get more than one hit in any inning.If you stay close, we felt we could string a couple hits together, Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. But once they spread it out, that makes it tough.Carlos Carrasco (9-7) allowed seven runs -- four unearned in the first -- and eight hits in four innings while striking out eight. He went into the game with a 1.74 road ERA this season, the best in the majors.After Ian Desmonds one-out single in the first, Carlos Beltran snapped a career-worst 0-for-32 hitless streak with an infield single to the left side against a shift. The runners moved up on a balk when Carrasco began a pickoff throw to first base but halted because first baseman Carlos Santana was 20 feet from the bag.On Adrian Beltres sharp grounder to third, Desmond dove back and beat Jose Ramirezs tag to load the bases. Rougned Odors hard grounder to first bounced off Santanas glove for a run-scoring error and Moreland pulled a first-pitch slider just inside the right-field foul pole with two out for his second career slam.Elvis Andrus doubled in two runs in the third inning after Moreland was intentionally walked with two out.Texas has the American Leagues best record, two games ahead of Cleveland. The Rangers increased their West lead to 7 1/2 games.A BLOOP AND NO BLASTBeltran also dumped an opposite-field hit just inside the left-field line that eluded Ramirez and left fielder Abraham Almonte. Before the game, Banister lamented that the 39-year-old was hitting in bad luck during the hitless streak that tied a franchise record.Hey, anything can happen when you put the baseball in play, Banister said. That gets him back on that positive train.DARVISHS BAT TAKING A RESTRangers RHP Yu Darvish is scheduled to start Monday at home vs. Seattle after hitting his first big-league home run in his previous start last Wednesday in Cincinnati. Darvish said he wont lobby to bat in the AL game.I dont want to get tired, Darvish said. So, no, thank you for that.SHORT HOPSRHP Jeremy Jeffress spent his second day on the restricted list as Major League Baseball continued to look into the pitchers arrest on a drunken driving charge early Friday morning in Dallas. ... OF Carlos Gomez is 0-for-11 with six strikeouts since homering in his Texas debut at-bat on Thursday.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: Manager Terry Francona said theres no timetable for when C Yan Gomes (right shoulder separation) will begin a rehab session.Rangers: RHP Colby Lewis (right lat strain) is scheduled to make his second rehab start on Monday for Double-A Frisco. He last appeared in a major league game on June 21.UP NEXTIndians: RHP Danny Salazar (11-5) has compiled a 10.41 ERA over six starts in July and August, lasting only 11 total innings in his last four outings.Rangers: LHP Derek Holland (5-6) returned from the disabled list last Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits in six innings in a loss at Cincinnati.

Some things to watch in the Big Ten on Saturday:GAME OF THE WEEKMaryland at Penn State. Maryland has built its 4-0 record against the 80th-toughest schedule, according to the NCAA, so a Big Ten road game on homecoming in Happy Valley should provide a better assessment of the Terrapins. The Nittany Lions have won nine of their last 10 at home and are coming off an overtime win against Minnesota. The Terps blew out Purdue and bring in one of the best rushing offenses in the country. Each of the last two meetings has been decided by one point.BEST MATCHUPIowa at Minnesota. Floyd of Rosedale isnt all thats at stake. The loser will have virtually no room for error the rest of the way if it hopes to be a factor in the West. The defending division champion Hawkeyes, whose two losses came at home, would match the program record with an eighth straight road win. The Gophers are rushing for 228 yards a game, and Iowa has struggled to stop the run. Minnesotas defense has been vulnerable to the big play , and the Hawkeyes are among the conference leaders with 13 plays of 30 yards or longer. The teams have split the last six meetings.INSIDE THE NUMBERSPenn State safety Marcus Allen made a career-high 22 tackles in last weeks overtime win over Minnesota, the most stops by a PSU player since Paul Posluszny in 2005 and the most by a Big Ten player since 2011. ...

Rutgers, which hosts No. 4 Michigan, hasnt beaten a top-five opponent since then-No. 2 USF in 2007.LONG SHOTIndiana at No. 2 Ohio State. The Hoosiers go to the Horseshoe as 29-point underdogs , and theyre 0-28 all-time against teams ranked Nos. 1 or 2 and havent beaten a team in the top three since 1967. Indiana can draw confidence from last years meeting, when the Buckeyes won 34-27 after Eli Apple batted down a pass in the end zone as time expired. The Hoosiers are as confident as ever, having knocked off Michigan State in overtime last week. Indiana RB Devine Redding has three 100-yard games, but hell be going against the only FBS defense that has yet to allow a rushing touchdown.PLAYER TO WATCHMichigan State QB Tyler OConnor.
