The Texas Rangers bested the Minnesota Twins, 10-2, at Metrodome. Jorge Posada was named player of the game. He was 3-6 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. The Rangers bumped their record to 71-63 with this latest triumph.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Rey Sanchez came to bat in the top of the 13th. Facing Minnesota pitcher Steve Parris, he hit a 0-2 sinker for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Texas on top, 3-2.

Minnesota manager Darren Fischbach called the blowout loss "a real stinker."
