Palmeiro hit a solo homer off Luke Prokopec. The homer was the 453rd of Palmeiro's career, moving him past Carl Yastrzemski for sole possession of the 25th spot on the all-time list.
Rodriguez hit a two-run shot to right field off Prokopec for the 250th of his career. That gave Texas a 3-0 lead in the third.
At 26 years, 277 days old, Rodriguez is the second youngest player to reach the 250-homer plateau. Only Jimmy Foxx (26 years, 269 days) reached 250 homers faster than A-Rod. The home run also gave Rodriguez 61 homers in 186 games since joining the Rangers last season, and it tied Ivan Rodriguez's team record for homers in April with nine.
The Rangers are (10-15), they have won three straight games and five of their last six.
