"Adrian Beltre is close to regaining his power swing, the last piece needed for his return to the cleanup spot in the Rangers' lineup.

Beltre has hit in all 10 games since returning on Sept. 1 from a six-week stay on the disabled list because of a strained left hamstring. It was not until the weekend series against Oakland that Beltre began hitting pitches with authority.

Beltre had five extra-base hits, including three home runs, in 15 at-bats against Oakland. Before that, he had all singles (7) in 28 at-bats."
