Twins Lose to Rangers in Walk-Off
Minnesota got a big-time effort from pitcher Luis Pizano, but it wasn't enough to keep the Texas Rangers from winning the game, 5-3. Pizano threw 7.1 innings of shutout ball for the losing team. Texas pitcher Larkin Braxton got the win. He's now 3-1. Craig Kimbrel was tagged with the loss. With the win, Texas boosts its record to 7-10.

Texas got a knockout punch from Danny Hernandez. The left fielder hammered a grand slam home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Texas manager Bobby Liford. "It's usually not just one thing."
