The Texas Rangers took on the Minnesota Twins at Metropolitan Stadium.

Texas third baseman Luis Valbuena was a significant contributor in his team's 11-4 triumph over the Minnesota Twins. He went 2-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 4 for the Rangers. Jesse Litsch picked up the win, lifting his record to 3-5 on the season. He struck out 6 and walked 2 in 8.2 innings, while yielding 4 runs.

Early in the game, Valbuena had a run-scoring double for Texas. It was his 12th double of the season and put the Rangers on top, 1-0.

"We maximized our offense today," said Texas skipper Kyle Shea. "That makes everyone's life easier."

The Texas win streak is now 3 games.
