Led by Lance Bennett, the Texas Rangers defeated the Kansas City Royals, 8-7. Bennett, a native of Salem, Oregon, went 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Rangers. Josh Payne, credited with the win in relief, is now 1-4. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1 innings. Texas is now 18-20, Kansas City 13-24.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Texas. That's when Billy Thompson hit a run-scoring double off 35-year old right-handed pitcher Danny Nunez to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

"This house was rockin'," Thompson said.
