The Minnesota Twins picked up a win at Target Field, knocking off the Texas Rangers, 7-4. On the mound for Minnesota was right-hander Joel Kull. He played a key role in the triumph. Kull, now 18-7, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 7, walking 1, and allowing 4 runs. The Rangers, now 72-85, have lost 4 in a row.

The Twins got a big at-bat from left fielder Eric Hemphill. For the game, Hemphill was 3 for 4 with 2 doubles. He drove in 2 runs. In the bottom of the third, with runners on 1st and 3rd, he stroked a 2-run double. His 15th double of the season gave Minnesota a 5-4 lead.

"No time for flexing," said Hemphill. "It's always one game at a time."
