vARLINGTON, Texas - Back in Texas. New York Giants Justin Tuck Jersey. Back in the World Series. Behind emerging October ace Colby Lewis, the Rangers came home and beat the San Francisco 4-2 on Saturday night to cut the Giants Series edge to 2-1. "We wanted to get back home. We felt comfortable here," Texas manager Ron Washington said. "We knew we could finally put a good game together, and we did." Psyched by pep talks from former President George W. Bush and spurred by a heater from Nolan Ryan, the Rangers became the first team from Texas to win a Series game. Rookie Mitch Moreland hit an early three-run homer, Josh Hamilton later launched a 426-foot shot and the Rangers posted a Series win that took the franchise 50 years to achieve. Just in time, in fact, coming off two thumpings in San Francisco. "Were still down one game, but its shifted," Hamilton said. Bush toured the Texas clubhouse before the game -- previously a Rangers part-owner, he visited with individual players. Then Ryan jazzed the largest crowd in the history of Rangers Ballpark by cranking up for the ceremonial first toss. The Rangers part-owner flung a 68 m.p.h. fastball -- pretty swift for a 63-year-old guy wearing dress pants and a tie. Lewis took over after that. He worked around solo home runs by Cody Ross -- the fifth of the post-season for the NL championship series MVP -- in the seventh inning and Andres Torres in the eighth. The Giants eventually brought the tying run to the plate, but reliever Darren ODay retired Buster Posey to end the eighth. Washington finally brought in Neftali Feliz, and the rocket-armed closer pitched a perfect ninth for his first save of the post-season. Washington was criticized in the first two games at San Francisco for leaving Feliz in the bullpen while the Giants broke away. Feliz struck out two, cheered on by Ryan, Bush and their wives in the front row next to the Texas dugout. The Rangers looked more like themselves with Vladimir Guerrero back in the DH spot. The other Texas big bats chimed in, with Hamilton hitting his fifth home run of the post-season. Moreland homered from the ninth spot in the lineup, connecting in the second for a 3-0 lead. "Its a different league, and thats the American League," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "Their guy got a big hit." No team in World Series history has overcome a 3-0 deficit and now Texas wont have to try, either. Rangers starter Tommy Hunter, especially good at home, faces rookie Madison Bumgarner in Game 4 on Sunday night. Lewis picked up where he left off in the AL championship series, where he finished off the defending champion Yankees in Game 6. Hes 3-0 this post-season, all of his wins coming after a Texas loss. Lewis allowed five hits in 7 2-3 innings and struck out six. He stopped a Giants team that had become the first NL team to score at least nine runs in back-to-back Series game. "We needed a well-pitched job," Washington said. Moreland, promoted to the majors in late July, won a tough at-bat against Jonathan Sanchez and homered on the ninth pitch. "I knew I had a runner in scoring position, so he was going to try to pitch me tough and I fouled off some off speed stuff and just tried to battle back, and I got the fastball," Moreland said. At a burly six-foot-four, Lewis is built something like a fullback. Backed by Morelands homer, he plowed through the Giants until the late innings. "It obviously
