Nelson Cruz, Chris Davis and Jarrod Saltalamacchia get a night off against Arizona stud Dan Haren. Cruz "needed a day," manager Ron Washington said, and Hank Blalock will play first because he has more experience against Haren. Taylor Teagarden will catch Vicente Padilla for the fourth consecutive start.
