WETASKIWIN, Alberta – Andrew Ranger has plenty of mastery on road-courses. Jordi Alba Jersey . The two-time champion of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 proved once again he can figure it out on an oval, too. He showed that Friday night as he picked up the win in the Alberta Has Energy 300 in the inaugural event at Edmonton International Raceway. Ranger tied the series all-time record with his 19th career win, and won back-to-back races for the first time since August 2009 following his victory on the road course at Circuit ICAR in Quebec last week. It was also his first oval win since 2009, and fourth overall. "At the beginning of the day we didnt have a really good car, so we improved lap after lap," Ranger said "During the race my car was really fantastic." The race was stretched to 316 laps around the quarter-mile bullring following a late caution that involved early race leader Alex Tagliani, and required Ranger, who took the lead on Lap 269, to hold off LP Dumoulin and Jason Hathaway on the final restart. "The pass with Alex [Tagliani] was a little bit tough because it was almost one [racing] line here," Ranger said. "He did a little mistake and I was able to take him in [Turn] 3." Dumoulin and Hathaway waged a battle throughout the last two laps of the race for second and Dumoulin came out ahead, followed by Hathaway, J.R. Fitzpatrick and D.J. Kennington. Joey McColm, Larry Jackson, Scott Steckly, rookie Stefan Rzadzinski and Noel Dowler completed the top 10. Fitzpatrick, Kennington and Steckly were all two laps down at different points during the race and rallied back for top-10 finishes. Tagliani, who won the pole position for the race earlier in the day, finished 13th. He led a career-high 268 laps. Fitzpatrick and Dumoulin are now tied for the season points lead after four races at 162 apiece while Rangers back-to-back wins have bumped him up to third, 12 tallies behind the co-leaders. Dumoulin has finished top-five in all four races this year, two more than any other driver. "Thats our first podium on an oval, and the guys have been working really hard," Dumoulin said after finishing second. "We were within sight for the last run. I knew being in second was not a good spot for the restart at the end, obviously we had to fight for that spot, but we kept our head up and made it happen." Ranger now shares the Canadian Tire Series career wins record with Kennington. That accomplishment came one week after he tied Fitzpatrick for the series all-time poles mark at 14. The race was slowed by 11 cautions for 94 laps, including two red flags.

One thing was clear to him, however. "This team needs better from me," Young said. Young got hit hard and often in an uncharacteristically poor outing, and the Mariners missed a chance to move up in the AL playoff race, tagged for five home runs Saturday night in a 10-1 loss to the Astros. The Mariners stayed one game behind AL wild-card leader Oakland and a half-game in back of Kansas City for the second slot. The As and Royals both lost earlier in the day. "I didnt pitch as well as Im capable of," Young said. "Im disappointed. Just felt good going in, dont know what happened. Just didnt make good pitches." Chris Carter and Alex Presley hit two-run homers and Matt Dominguez and Carlos Corporan added back-to-back solo shots. Jake Marisnick had a three-run homer in the seventh inning as the Astros snapped a four-game skid. "They swung the bat well," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. "They pretty much decided it real early." The Mariners loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth but managed to come out empty-handed, with Austin Jackson grounding into a double play to end the inning. "We pretty much had one shot and couldnt capitalize with it," McClendon said. Young (12-9) gave up seven runs and eight hits in three-plus innings. He also threw two wild pitches. "For the most part I feel like Ive given the team a chance," Young said. "A couple of starts this month I havent, but Ill bounce back." Dallas Keuchel (12-9) pitched eight strong innings, striking out eighth. He also reached 200 innings in a season for the first time in his career. Carter and Presley homered one batter apart in the first inning. Dominguez and Corporan connected off Young on consecutive pitches in the fourth. It was Carters 37th home run of the season, a career high. Nelson Cruz leads the majors with 39. Dexter Fowler doubled and scored two runs for the Astros. Houstonn tied a season high for homers previously achieved April 6 against the Angels. Philippe Coutinho Jersey. Jose Altuve got two hits, giving 218 this season. He tied Rod Carew for most by a second baseman since 1937. Carew reached the feat in 1974 with Minnesota. Charlie Gehringer had 227 with Detroit in 1936. Robinson Cano hit an RBI single for Seattle run in the third. Marisnick homered off Erasmo Ramirez, who pitched four innings in relief. The best thing for Young and the Mariners to do is put this game behind them, third baseman Kyle Seager said. "You are at this point of the year, you are in single-digit games left, and we obviously know where we stand," Seager said. "Every game is magnified right now." EYES ON THE RACE With his team in a tight race for an AL wild-card berth, McClendon delayed his pregame media availability so he could watch the end of Detroits 3-2 win over Kansas City. "Its like I tell the players ---- its not often that you get the opportunity to be in these positions," McClendon said. "Cherish them and enjoy the journey, and this is part of it." HES A HIT The Astros honoured Altuve prior to the game for breaking the clubs record for hits in a season. Craig Biggio, who had held the club record of 210 since 1998, took part in the ceremony at Minute Maid Park, which included Altuve being presented with a giant coupon good for 211 bottles of Minute Maid orange juice. TRAINERS ROOM Mariners: OF Dustin Ackley, who hit two homers in Fridays 10-5 win, sat out the game because of a bad left ankle. McClendon said he would play Sunday. Astros: RHP Josh Fields remains day-to-day with what interim manager Tom Lawless described as a strain. LHP Darin Downs, who felt discomfort in his right oblique in Fridays game, is also day to day. UP NEXT Mariners RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (14-8, 3.42 ERA), who is 6-3 over his last 10 starts, faces rookie RHP Collin McHugh (10-9, 2.66). McHugh has won his last six decisions and has allowed two runs or fewer in nine straight starts, the longest active streak in the majors.
