Rangers Fall Short, 7-6, at Minnesota
The Minnesota Twins beat the Texas Rangers, 7-6, in part because of left fielder Emmanuel Rodriguez. He was 2 for 2 with a home run, a triple, and a walk, while scoring 2. Pablo Lopez, the winning pitcher, is now 14-4. He went 5 innings, allowing 2 runs on 4 hits, while fanning 4 and walking 1. Griffin Jax closed the door for Minnesota, picking up his 30th save of the year.

The Twins got a big at-bat from catcher Ryan Jeffers. For the game, Jeffers went 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the fourth, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 26th home run of the season gave Minnesota a 4-1 lead.

"We played hard and won," said Rodriguez. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'

Minnesota is now 79-55, Texas 71-65.
