Twins Upend Rangers, 4-3
Starting pitcher Adrian Houser pitched well enough to help the Minnesota Twins beat the Texas Rangers, 4-3. The slumping Rangers have dropped 7 in a row.

Minnesota used a clutch at-bat from Christian Bethancourt to capture the win. The catcher hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Twins ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Minnesota manager Jonathan A commended his team for exhibiting "no shortage of effort."
