Rangers Rally For 7-5 Win
In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

Despite a great performance by Kansas City third baseman Jeff Cirillo, the Texas Rangers defeated the Royals by the score of 7-5 at Kauffman Stadium. Cirillo was 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Sam August came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.1 innings. His record now stands at 5-3.

Texas used the timely hitting of Jose Vidro to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Rangers on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll sip on a cold one and savor this win," said Vidro.

Texas is in third place in the AL West Division with a record of 61-71.
