Teixeira hit a career-high three homers and drove in seven runs in the Rangers' 15-1 rout of the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. "Same thing I've said all year: My swing has not changed one bit. I've looked at hours and hours of video," Teixeira said. "There's a fine line between a home run and a line drive. Tonight I just kind of found that home run stroke."
