Rangers Clip Twins, 6-5
The Texas Rangers beat the Minnesota Twins by a score of 6-5. Texas third baseman Brian Ruble deserved the lion's share of the credit. Ruble went 4-5 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 2 times for the Rangers. Texas pitcher Aaron Aycock got the win, upping his record to 6-3. Tyler Foor got the loss. The Rangers now have a record of 72-57 with the win over Minnesota.

A crucial at-bat came with the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the seventh inning. That's when designated hitter Mel Soto, who led the NL in on-base percentage with .391 in 2093, hit a run-scoring single. The Rangers went on to win.

"This place was jumping at the end," Soto said.
