The All-Star break didn't do anything to change manager Ron Washington's mind about Nelson Cruz hitting fifth and Michael Young sixth. The Rangers are 2-0 with that lineup, albeit in games won in extra innings. But Cruz had a big game in the first win, and Young had big one in the second. For two games, it appears to be working.
