The Texas Rangers downed the Seattle Mariners, 7-6, at Arlington Stadium. Lance Johnson led the way, going 2-for-4 for Texas. The winner was Texas reliever Mike Perez, now 7-7. The loser was Jim Abbott. Texas has now won 3 straight, while the Mariners have lost 3 in a row.

The decisive blow was delivered by Dale Sveum in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off fan favorite Jim Abbott to win the game for Texas. The home crowd went nuts.

"It's what good teams do, find a way to win," said Johnson.
