Late Rally by Rangers Secures Win
Texas beat Kansas City at Royals Stadium, eking out a 6-5 win. The win was due in large part to second baseman Rico Brogna, who earned player of the game honors. The winner was Kenny Rogers, who threw 119 pitches over 7 innings. The left-hander was charged with 5 runs on 8 hits. The 4th-place Rangers now have a win-loss record of 58-77.

Rob Deer struck a blow for the Rangers in the top of the eighth when he hit a solo home run. It put his team ahead, 6-5. For the game, Deer was 2 for 5 with a home run, while scoring 2 times.

In postgame comments to the Texas Herald, Deer said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
