Hamilton launched his 12th homer of the season in the first inning and Cruz hit an opposite-field blast in the second for his 21st homer.

Michael Young had a run-scoring single in the third to make it 3-0.

Napoli, who had three hits, delivered his 13th homer in the sixth and Elvis Andrus had an RBI single later in the inning to give Texas a five-run lead.
