Rangers Top Minnesota, 12-11
The Texas Rangers defeated the Minnesota Twins, 12-11, in 13 innings. Much of the credit belonged to center fielder Eric Davis, who was 5 for 7 with a home run, a double, and 3 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4 for the Rangers. The victory puts Texas at 32-47.

The game was decided with no one out in the bottom of the 13th. With Texas trailing 11-10, Davis jumped on a fastball from 26-year old right-handed pitcher Mike Gardiner and hit a 2-run home run to left-center. With one swing, the Rangers had a walk-off win.

"Baseball is a wild game -- a crazy game, sometimes," said Davis.
