Rangers Win in Extras
The Texas Rangers picked up a win at Royals Stadium, knocking off the Kansas City Royals, 3-2. Starting pitcher Matt Young was an essential part of his team's success. Texas reliever Steve Bedrosian picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Armando Benitez took the loss. Texas is now 84-72.

Tied up with the Royals in the top of the 14th inning, the Rangers got a boost from catcher Jorge Posada. With the bases empty, Posada saw a 1-1 fastball from Armando Benitez and hit a solo home run to break the stalemate and put Texas on top, 3-2.

"Exhilarating win," said Posada.
