Arlington, TX -- (Sports Network) - Travis Metcalf homered twice, knocking in three runs, and Kevin Millwood hurled nine strong innings, as Texas rolled past Detroit, 9-1, in the final contest of a three-game series.

Brandon Boggs, Michael Young, Josh Hamilton and Milton Bradley also hit a home run each for the Rangers, who won only the final game of the set and snapped a three-game losing skid.

Millwood (7-7) limited Detroit to six hits and one run, fanning four with one walk, and finished a game for the second time this season.

Miguel Cabrera drove in the only run for the Tigers, whose two-game win streak was halted. Starter Nate Robertson (7-10) took the loss after allowing eight hits and eight runs -- six earned -- including five home runs over 3 2/3 innings.

Metcalf's two-run homer in the second put the Rangers on the board. Marlon Byrd had reached on a fielding error and scored on the two-out blast.

Boggs and Young hit back-to-back homers to start the home third, and later in the frame the Rangers tacked on another run when Chris Davis grounded into a fielder's choice with the bases loaded.

Cabrera's RBI double in the fourth gave the Tigers their first run of the contest, but Texas added three more in its turn -- on Young's double-play grounder with runners on the corners, and back-to-back home runs from Hamilton and Bradley. That also ended Robertson's day, and Aquilino Lopez entered to get Detroit out of the inning.

Metcalf launched his second homer of the night in the seventh for a 9-1 Texas lead.

After Cabrera's double, Millwood only yielded an infield single to Gary Sheffield later in the fourth, a triple by Curtis Granderson in the fifth, a sixth-inning double by Magglio Ordonez, and a Ryan Raburn single in the ninth.
