Lofton can still run; Rangers tie it
By Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff
Kenny Lofton can still run and can still play.
The 40-year-old Ranger has reached base three times tonight so far, has stolen two bases with two hits and a walk. Lofton had not stolen a base in 25 games, but is now 18-for-22 on the season. His fifth-inning steal gave him 617 for his career and is now 16th all-time ahead of George Davis who played in the National League in the 1880s.
The Rangers were able to to tie it 1-1 in the fifth as Jerry Hairston's sac fly scored catcher Adam Melhuse, who started the inning with a double to right.
