Ankiel And Maxwell Hammer Rangers

From Elias: Rick Ankiel belted a three-run, pinch-hit home run to open up some breathing room and Justin Maxwell hit a pair of triples as the Astros went on to defeat the Rangers, 8-2. Ankiel became the first major leaguer, in a season opener, to pinch-hit a three-run or grand-slam home run in his debut with a team since the Reds' Mark Sweeney hit a three-run shot against the Giants in 1999. Maxwell, meanwhile, became just the sixth major-leaguer in the last 100 years to produce multiple triples in his team's season opener; the last three to do it had been Pittsburgh's Arky Vaughan in 1941, the Yankees' Tommy Henrich in 1950 and Kansas City's Tony Pena in 2007.
