Texas Rangers starter Derek Lilliquist was locked-in. He led his team to a win over the Kansas City Royals, 4-3. Texas reliever Billy Taylor was credited with the win, to go to 4-5. John Habyan took the loss for Kansas City. Texas is now 41-45, while Kansas City is 56-29.

In the bottom of the 11th, Texas pinch hitter Milt Cuyler had a run-producing at-bat. Facing Kansas City hurler Armando Benitez, Cuyler hit a sacrifice fly. That made the score 4-3, Texas. For the day, Cuyler drove in one run.

"It feels good to get this one," Lilliquist told the Texas Times.
