ARLINGTON—Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton can play small ball, too.In the first interleague game of the season, Hamilton showed a little National League flair. His first career sacrifice bunt came between run-scoring doubles by Vladimir Guerrero and Nelson Cruz and Texas extended its winning streak to a season-best five in a row with a 2-1 victory over the Cubs on Friday night.In his 1,585th career plate appearance, in his 376th game and on his 29th birthday, Hamilton bunted after Guerrero’s RBI double drove in Ian Kinsler to tie the game. Cruz then doubled.Colby Lewis (4-2) labored through six innings for his first victory in five starts.Lewis (4-2) didn’t have a 1-2-3 inning until the sixth, but he had already thrown 109 pitches by then and was done. Darren O’Day and Frank Francisco each worked scoreless innings before hard-throwing right-hander Neftali Feliz extended his Rangers rookie record with his 12th save in 14 chances.Feliz worked around Tyler Colvin’s pinch-hit double and benefited from Cruz’s leaping catch against the wall in foul territory.Ted Lilly (1-4) pitched into the seventh but remained without a victory since winning his injury-delayed season debut April 24 for the Cubs. He is 0-4 his last five starts.An infield hit and two throwing errors got Kinsler to third leading off the fourth.Kinsler kept running after leading a slow roller that third baseman Mike Fontenot fielded and threw wide of first base. After second baseman Ryan Theriot grabbed the ball in short right field, he flung it into left field for another throwing error when trying to get Kinsler out at second.Lewis hadn’t won since April 25, when he was 3-0 through his first four starts and then got a no-decision despite throwing nine scoreless innings his next outing. The right-hander was 0-2 in three May starts before facing the Cubs.The former first-round pick, who is back with the Rangers after spending the past two seasons in Japan, struck out four and walked three. Lewis had two walks and two strikeouts in a 30-pitch first inning.Lilly began the season on the disabled list while still recovering from arthroscopic shoulder surgery in November, then won his season debut – and hasn’t since. He allowed two runs over 6 2/3 innings in Texas. Fontenot blooped a leadoff double into short left in the second. He scored when Geovany Soto grounded into a double play. But that was it for the Cubs, who left nine runners on base.Former Rangers Alfonso Soriano and Marlon Byrd had consecutive two-out singles in the eighth, grounders past third baseman Michael Young. But Francisco got out of the jam when Fontenot took a called third strike.

NOTES—Former Cub Greg Maddux, an assistant to GM Jim Hendry, is with the team this weekend to work with young pitchers. Maddux also gets a chance to visit his older brother, Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux. … Soriano, still a second baseman when with Texas in 2004-05, was backpedaling in left field when he awkwardly reached up for Hamilton’s flyball over his head that became a double.
