Rangers Top Arizona, 9-8
The inspired effort of Arizona right fielder Max Kepler was not enough to prevent a loss, 9-8, to the Texas Rangers. Kepler was 3-3 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Texas reliever Derek Law picked up the win, upping his record to 5-1. Kenley Jansen absorbed the loss. The first-place Rangers, at 88-33, lead the AL West Division by 18½ games.

The decisive blow was delivered by Jason Heyward in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run double off 28-year old right-handed pitcher Kenley Jansen to win the game for Texas. The home crowd went nuts.

"The crowd was juiced," said Heyward.
