8 Straight Wins for Twins
The Minnesota Twins beat the Texas Rangers, 5-4, at Globe Life Field. Norm Siebern, who is tied for 6th in the AL with a .546 slugging percentage, starred for Minnesota. He was 2 for 3 with 2 singles and 2 walks. He scored 2 times. The winning streak has now reached 8 games for the Twins.

Had Siebern not come through in the top of the ninth, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Siebern hit a run-scoring single. The Twins took the lead, 5-4, and never looked back.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Texas manager Kyle Shea said, following the tough loss.
