Twins Snatch Late Win
The Minnesota Twins had to overcome a big game from Texas left fielder Mike Vice to leave Globe Life Field with a victory. And they did, winning 9-6. Vice hit 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. With the win, Minnesota raised its record to 65-53.

The game was at a stalemate until third baseman Pete Toth came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Texas pitcher Omar Amparo, he hit a 1-2 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Minnesota on top, 6-5.

"Nice win for us," said Toth. "Now we'll go after the next one."
