Rangers Score Late to Beat White Sox, 8-7
The 8-7 Texas win over Chicago was due in large part to Scooter Gennett. The Rangers second baseman slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Picking up the save was Sean Doolittle. He's now 31 for 33 in save chances. With the win, Texas upped its record to 107-37.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Josh Hamilton? The Texas left fielder had a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Rangers on top, 8-7. For the game, Hamilton had 2 doubles and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"This was a nice win for us," said Hamilton. "It's one more step toward our ultimate goal."
