Texas Beaten, 5-4, by Minnesota
The Minnesota Twins stopped the Texas Rangers, 5-4, at Target Field. The Twins got a big game from Dairon Blanco, who was 4 for 5 with 4 singles, while scoring 2 runs. Minnesota pitcher Thomas Szapucki earned the win, hiking his record to 1-3. Edwin Uceta suffered the loss. Picking up his 9th save was 30-year old left-handed pitcher Jose Alvarado.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Elly De La Cruz came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Texas pitcher Edwin Uceta, he hit a full count fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Minnesota on top, 5-4.

"Both teams played hard," said Minnesota manager Jonathan A.

Minnesota is now 36-33, while Texas is 29-40.
