ARLINGTON, Texas (Reuters) - Ryan Garko drove in six runs to guide the Cleveland Indians to a 15-9 victory over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday.

It was a good night for both offenses, who have produced 65 runs in the first three games of their four-game series.

"It's just a fun kind of opportunity," Garko told reporters. "It's the opposite of Cleveland. In Cleveland, the wind is blowing in from right-center every day and it's freezing cold. You just want to go out and get a bat in your hands because it's hot and the ball will carry."

Indians starter Cliff Lee tied for an American League best with his ninth win, despite allowing six runs in five innings.

Cleveland pounded out a season-best 17 hits and chased Rangers starter Sidney Ponson after four innings and six runs. Rangers reliever Elizardo Ramirez (0-1) replaced Ponson and allowed nine runs in 2 2/3 innings for the loss.

Garko hit a two-run single in the sixth inning giving the Indians an 8-6 lead before Dave Dellucci followed with a three-run home run to deep right field two batters later.

Garko added another two-run single in the seventh, when the Indians scored four runs.

Milton Bradley led the Rangers with three RBIs. Bradley's two-run shot to centre field sparked a four-run third inning for the Rangers.

"We're not pitching right now," said Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler. "We're swinging the bats well. We have to have them both together."

Indians centre fielder Grady Sizemore hit his 12th home run of the season.
