Tampa Bay Rays versus Texas Rangers
Game 1, September 30, 2011
5:07 p.m. EDT, Rangers Ballpark in Arlington , Arlington , Texas
| team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4th | 5 | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9 | R. | H | E. |

The Rays surprised with their decision to use the inexperienced pitcher Matt Moore as a starter for the second time ever. But he showed a strong performance for seven innings, allowing only two hits and scoring six strike-outs. The guests from Tampa Bay were unstoppable while batting. After a two-run home run by Johnny Damon in the second inning, catcher Kelly Shoppach, who harmonized very well with Moore, ensured the reassuring and ultimately decisive 8-0 lead with two home runs with a total of 5 RBIs . The only two hits for the Rangers came from Josh Hamilton , whose dazzling career began in 1999 in the Rays franchise system.
