Litsch Schools Minnesota in 4-1 Texas Triumph
Texas got a strong outing from Jesse Litsch as the Rangers defeated the Minnesota Twins, 4-1, at Metropolitan Stadium. The 8th-place Rangers have won 4 straight.

Litsch was effective against the Twins, seldom allowing a hard-hit ball. The right-hander limited Minnesota to just no runs on 3 hits over 8 innings.

"Jesse can overpower you," said Texas manager Kyle Shea.
