The Texas Rangers beat the St. Louis Cardinals by a score of 5-2. Texas left fielder Chris Patrick deserved the lion's share of the credit. Patrick was 3-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 for the Rangers. Aaron Aycock collected save number 5. The second-place Rangers improved to 24-22.

The game turned with no one out in the bottom of the fourth when Patrick, who is tied for 2nd in the AL in doubles with 18, hit a 2-run home run. It propelled the Rangers into the lead, 2-0.

"This losing is getting old," said St. Louis manager Leyland Thomas.
