Gennett Stars in 9-6 Rangers Win
The Texas Rangers defeated the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, 9-6, at Tropicana Field. Texas designated hitter Scooter Gennett had a superb performance. He was 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The win for the Rangers raised their record to 88-36.

Texas used a timely hit from Yadier Molina to get the win. The catcher stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Rangers ahead, 7-6. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it made an impact.

Molina told the Texas Citizen: "I'm the straw that stirs the drink."
