Crawford Lifts Twins to 5-4 Win
Brandon Crawford powered the Minnesota Twins to a win over the Texas Rangers. The final score was 5-4. The Minnesota shortstop was a force to be reckoned with. He banged out 3 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 2 doubles. Minnesota pitcher Taijuan Walker got the win. He's now 6-10. Paul Blackburn was tagged with the loss. The losses continue to mount for Texas, which has now dropped 6 in a row.

Crawford contributed in the top of the second. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a 3-run home run. It was one at-bat among others that helped Minnesota get the win.

"We're in a funk and we need to shake ourselves out of it," said Texas manager Daryl S.
