Delgado Impresses in Texas Loss
Texas first baseman Carlos Delgado was sensational. He slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice, but it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Minnesota beat the Rangers, 8-4. Delgado was named the player of the game despite the loss. Minnesota is now riding a 3-game win streak.

Koji Akiyama dealt the Rangers a blow in the bottom of the third. Batting with runners on 2nd and 3rd and Minnesota leading 2-0, Akiyama, who is tied for 10th in the FL in triples with 4, hit a 1-2 slider for a 2-run single.

"It's always a heck of a lot easier to get to sleep after a win," Akiyama told the Minnesota Bulletin. "I know I'll rest easy tonight."
