Rangers Take Down Twins, 6-4
The Texas Rangers beat the Minnesota Twins by a score of 6-4. Texas third baseman Josh Jung deserved the lion's share of the credit. Jung was 3-4 with a home run and a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Rangers. Caleb Ferguson earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 2 innings. His record is now 4-4. The Rangers now have a record of 68-56.

Danny Jansen helped the Texas cause in the bottom of the eighth. With the bases empty, he hit a solo home run.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Jansen told the Texas Daily News. "It's as simple as that."
