Twins Snatch Late-Game, 5-4 Win
The Minnesota Twins dealt the Texas Rangers a 5-4 loss at Target Field. Jose Bautista, who finished 3rd in the AL in runs with 98 in 2007, was 2 for 3 with a home run, a walk, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2. Minnesota reliever Craig Kimbrel picked up the win, upping his record to 4-5. Nick Walters absorbed the loss. Minnesota is now 44-33.

The decisive at-bat for Minnesota came with no one out in the bottom of the eighth. With the bases empty, Bautista hit a solo home run for the walk-off win.

"Exhilarating win," said Bautista.
