Rangers Sneak Past Twins, 5-4
Byron Buxton did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Minnesota Twins from losing, 5-4, to the Texas Rangers at Target Field. Buxton went 3 for 5 with 2 home runs and a double. The win puts Texas at 9-8.

Robbie Grossman, the 33-year old left fielder , had a direct impact on the outcome. Grossman contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the tenth inning to put Texas up, 4-3.

"To not win that game stings a little bit," said Minnesota manager Jim Double Dip #1.
